Hmm, couldn't find anything with uucp in the subject, so following up
here.

I have exim and uucp working here. In the main configuration settings:

    trusted_users = mail:uucp
    uucp_from_pattern = "^From ([^ ]+).*remote from (.*)"
    uucp_from_sender = "$1@$2"

You may have to tweak these, depending on what your upstream uucp host
sends.

In the transports configuration:

    uucp:
      driver = pipe
      user = nobody
      command = "/usr/bin/uux -r - $host!rmail ${local_part}"
      return_fail_output = true


In the router configuration, below any routers for e.g. infranets:

    uucphost:
      driver = domainlist
      transport = uucp
      route_list = "* uucphost"

(replace uucphost with the name of your uucp feed)
Maybe you'll have to play with the "driver" and "route_list" entries
in the last stanza, but that's globally what you need.
