System V's UUCP also supports multi-hop copying under some circumstances.
(I think honey danber removed it - care to comment, peter?)

More to the point, using UUCP doesn't work if you're eventually sending the
file to a machine not running UNIX or if your machine doesn't have UUCP
connections to the outside world but has mail connections.  My workstation
has an Ethernet connection to "sun" but can't talk UUCP to anybody (it could
if it and "sun" were running the 4.3BSD UUCP, but they're not).
