You might want to try out UUMAIL (PD UUCP/UUCICO/UUX/MAIL/ETC all
rolled into one PD program for the ST.) It makes the ST into a
networking UUCP host (i.e. you don't have to just be a leaf node).
We are using it locally in Minnesota within a network of about 14 ST's
connected to several Unix sites (stag.UUCP for most of us). With the
'cron'-like program that one of our developers wrote, you have pretty
much the same functionality for mail and news<->mail forwarding that
a Unix system has. Plus UUMAIL can even be polled by a Unix system if
necessary, since UUMAIL runs in host mode with normal Unix
login/password/Shere prompts...

The only thing currently missing is a port of news 2.11 and rn over to
the ST (along with batching and all the necessary utilities for moving
and managing news).
