Yes. I have used this a few times in the last 18 months. Mostly for |

fun through my small UUCP network. |

I thought at least one of the other contemporary MTAs also supported UUCP. |

I would assume anything that does support UUCP would also support |
| 15 |
bang-routing as I believe that's more of a UUCP function than an MTA |
| 16 |
function. So I'm surprised at the idea that other things that do |
| 17 |
support UUCP don't support bang-routing. |
