Uucp cannot handle multiple-hop requests; there are kludges to allow mail to work that way. The easiest solution would be for someone to write a simple program that would read mail messages of the form

Subject: FTP

filename...

and mail back the requested files from /usr/spool/uucp/ftp/*. Then a mail alias could be set up at some friendly site that runs Berkeley's delivermail, so that messages mailed to it would actually invoke this program.
