Here is what I found on my systems. It works reliable for years, thus I do not
remember the details :-) I've simplified it a little but, the actual config
does some more lookups to run different remote commands for different hosts
(mainly for compression).
On the external box
# EXIM
# global
trusted_users = uucp
# routers
uucp:
driver = manual
domains = jumper.schlittermann.de
route_list = * jumper byname
transport = uux
# transports
uux:
driver = pipe
batch_max = 1
command = "/usr/bin/uux - --nouucico $host!rmail ($local_part@$domain)"
envelope_to_add
log_output
user = nobody
# UUCP
# /etc/uucp/sys (last touched 6 years ago!)
# I think the repeated options are redundant
protocol t
commands rsmtp rmail
myname uucp-out
port TCP
time never
command-path /usr/local/sbin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /bin
system jumper
called-login jumper
myname pu
commands zrmail rmail
command-path /usr/local/sbin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /bin
# /etc/uucp/passwd
jumper <deleted for privacy reasons ☺>
# /etc/uucp/port
port TCP
type tcp
there are some more files I've never touched (I'd say)
On the home box (laptop) the exim config looks about the same,
except that the --nouucico is missing from the transport comand and that
I've setup a default (smart) router sending *all* and everything via
uucp. The UUCP config contains the username and password to use for
logging into the external box
# /etc/uucp/sys
command-path /usr/local/sbin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /bin
commands rmail zrmail
protocol tgvG
protocol-parameter G packet-size 1024
# protocol-parameter G window 7
protocol-parameter G short-packets
system pu
myname jumper
address pu.schlittermann.de
call-login * # taken from ./call
call-password * # taken from ./call
port TCP
time any
On a regular basis I start "uucico -S pu".
That's it.
I hope my information is somehow helpful.
