+====== Doing UUCP with SDF ======
+**UUCP** (Unix-to-Unix Copy) is a great way to get your mail and news, even without a stable or static Internet connection.
+===== Request a login =====
+  * Know your uuname (run ''uname -n'')
+  * Post a message on ''<REQUEST>''
+===== UUCP Node Configuration =====
+==== Taylor UUCP ====
+Configuration files are typically located in ''/etc/uucp'', but the location varies from OS to OS. In FreeBSD if you installed ''freebsd-uucp'' from ports the configuration files will be at ''/usr/local/etc/uucp''.
+The main file you need to edit is the sys file. A sample of the ''sys'' config file you could use is as follows:
+<code>
+  system          sdf
+  alias           mx
+  address         uucp.sdf.org
+  call-login      Uusername
+  call-password   Password
+  time            Any
+  port            TCP
+  chat ""         \d\d\r\c login: \d\L word: \P
+  protocol        t
+  myname          your_uname
+</code>
+You will also need a ''config'' file.
+<code>
+  nodename uyour_name
+  spool /var/spool/uucp
+  pubdir /var/spool/uucppublic
+  logfile /var/log/uucp/Log
+  statfile /var/log/uucp/Stats            # The UUCP statistics file
+  debugfile /var/log/uucp/Debug           # The UUCP debugging file
+</code>
+And a ''port'' file.
+<code>
+  port TCP
+  type tcp
+</code>
+==== HDB UUCP ====
+TODO …
+===== How to POLL SDF =====
+You can poll SDF manually by running ''uucico sdf'', or more likely for long term usage a cron job running every so often.
+An example crontab line for polling every 15 minutes would be:
+<code>
+  */15 * * * * /usr/sbin/uucico -s sdf
+</code>
+===== Testing your config =====
+<code>
+  uucico -s sdf
+  uulog -10"
+</code>
+Check the log; output like this is a good sign:
+<code>
+  uucico sdf - (2013-08-09 01:00:05.613221) Login successful
+  uucico sdf - (2013-08-09 01:00:07.80 3221) Handshake successful (protocol 't')
+  uucico sdf - (2013-08-09 01:00:07.98 3221) Call complete (2 seconds 0 bytes 0 bps)
+</code>
+===== MTA Configuration =====
+==== Postfix UUCP settings ====
+''/etc/mailname''
+<code>
+  uucp_name.natverk.org
