Hmmm.... Sounds more like a good way to cut back on UUCP connections.... :-)

Copying from me!a!b!c!you with only the cooperation of site B will certainly
piss off the administrators at sites A and C since it will leave them with a
file eating up space in PUBDIR. (There's no way to remotely rm files, for good
reason.) Unless they have a script to clean up PUBDIR periodically, they
probably won't find it until they run out of disk space....
