I use UUCP and wanted to do the same sort of retrieval. I created a shell
script which calls the appropriate daemon (UUCICO in my case). I then added an
entry into the cron table, /etc/crontab, and cron then runs the script as
root and picks up the mail at designated intervals. The permissions on the
script are set as 700 and are owned by root:root. Smail/elm simply queue the
out-bound mail until the script is ran. In-bound mail is automatically
distributed.
