Deliver using UUCP V8.1 and above

MAILER(`uucp')

[8] This is the basic set for all the uucp delivery agents. The uucp-new delivery agent also has F=m set. The uucp-dom delivery agent has the F=U removed from the basic set.

These delivery agents are described in greater detail in Chapter 4, beginning in Section 4.6.
