Right, the Debian box at the main office is full time connected to the
Internete. I want to do what you are saying: have this main server accepting
e-mail from the world to users in my UUCP domains and transfer them to
the remote servers when the UUCP link starts. This sounds like an interesting
exercise although I am a little bit scared of touching sendmail and bind
to do the trick.
