It sounds to me like you're a candidate for one of the POP/SMTP mailers.

Freeware:

  Techmail (mit.edu?)
  POPmail (boombox.micro.umn.edu)
  MacPost (somewhere in Sweden)
  MacPOP? (ftp.cc.berkeley.edu?)
  Eudora (ftp.cso.uiuc.edu)

Tokenware:

  MacMH (mail to networking@jessica.stanford.edu)

Commercial:

  TCP/Connect II (mail to kdb@intercon.com)

You've already mentioned the uucp products, about which I know little.  Another
one to consider may be LeeMail, a pure SMTP product (no POP server needed);
unfortunately, I don't remember where it's from.

As I'm the author of one of these packages (Eudora), I will refrain from
making any comparisons between the packages.

Authors of mail packages:
This question is asked frequently.  I usually answer it, giving a list
of products and contacts.  I'd be more than happy to put your product
in here with accurate contact info, if you just drop me a line.
