Exim doesn't take all the same command line options that sendmail does
(the sendmail binary should, on a properly configured Exim set-up, just
be a link to the exim binary). You can't tell exim to do uucp delivery
by passing it a -pUUCP option, as the error message is telling you.
Exim doesn't do uucp out of the box. If you want to send mail via uucp,
you would have to configure a transport to do uucp and a router that
correctly identified hosts that required uucp. See
See this link for some advice on this
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.30/doc/html/spec_20.html#IX1629
If, otoh, you want to feed uucp mail directly into Exim, then I thin you
would need to filter it first and then use batch smtp to submit it.
This is beyond my area of expertise, though.
