Dani,
Please DO read / go ogle more about uucp!
It has an interesting legacy of security issues - less so for restricted two-box
point-to-point use (as illustrated in Heiko's post), than for the way it was
used as a more widely shared resource years ago - but nonetheless still
demanding of careful setup.
Given his demonstrated level of expertise, I am confidant that Heiko has taken
steps to guard against vulnerabilities, but - 'generally' - there is more to it
than just the exim setup in his post.
Well worth a bit of research before jumping in from a cold start...
