Email for UUCP

All email messages generated by the UUCP programs and scripts go to the user ID uucp. If you do not log in frequently as that user, you might not realize that mail is accumulating (and consuming disk space). To solve this, make an alias in /etc/aliases and redirect that email either to root or to yourself and others responsible for maintaining UUCP. Don't forget to run the newaliases command after modifying the aliases file.
