If you use uucp then you use Unix-to-Unix-CoPy and it does what it says.
Then the you should use ~user_name (remember to escape the~) to expand to the
home-dir of user on the remote machine.
If you want to send mail (to an MTA), then you should use the rmail program.
By default you are allowed to run *rmail* and *rnews* on remote hosts.
But you should never have to execute in by hand (can't tell you the exact call
because of that).
