You don't have to. All that's required is that you provide a tool to
get the files from uunet to the customers uucp gateway, via uucp. Let
the customer site develop their own interface to the facility on their
gateway machine if they require that functionality in house. uucp(1) is
for transferring files - use *it*, not mail...

I would be interested in knowing just how much "business" the ftp-request
alias gets. And, do you have any idea how many of the requests are satified
by replies to the effect "it's already here, in pub/... " ?
