Are you running MailTruck from within the GfA-Interpreter ?
You might want to compile it for speed-improvement...

As the newest version has been tagged 1.0, I might mention a system written
by a friend in Stuttgart which is called Mercury UUCP Modules.

It provides a complete (although simple) Mail & News system for the Atari ST
running under TOS !

Don't ask me to send away Mercury UUCP... I only have a test-version (0.926)
and it is not that small. I don't have a fat documentation either.

]Does a working UUCP exist under MINIX as well? MTC-shell?
There is bdt-uucp especially for the MT C-Shell. If you're having RS232-
support in your Minix-Kernel, a portation of Gnuucp should be quite
straight-forward.
