UUCP does not transfer files between arbitrary users in a UUCP net-
work, it merely transfers files (which may contain remote execution
requests) between adjacent machines in said UUCP network.

Thus, for user-to-user connectivity without direct connection between
your sites you have to use mail. (Mail is not part of UUCP, it is a
superordinate protocol layer that merely employs UUCP as a transport
service.)

The situation would be different if one of gremlin and huitink polled
at the other one. The command you are looking for in this case is
called uucp, included with your UUCP package and also documented in
the doc files.
