Depends on what you mean. If you mean, can you poll some other site that's
connected to the Internet and running UUCP, then yes, and the technique
is quite common. There are quite a few UUCP protocols designed for this
specifically. Unfortunately AmigaUUCP doesn't support any of them.
You'll need telser.device if you want to do this with AmigaUUCP, and if
you succeed, let us all know!
If you mean "Can I poll my provider for news and email over PPP" then
the answer is ask your provider, but the answer will probably be no.
