Software infrastructure

On your host (typically an UNIX box) you configure sendmail/smail/binmail/whatever to forward your mail over uucp to your home machine.

This is a huge hurdle for people who don't own their own machines and haven't convinced a sympathetic sysadmin to do the configuration. A solution that works from a dialup login account can still be a batch solution and should require no extra involvement from the sysadmins. Eric
