Micnet

According to tif at cpe.UUCP:

Oh, I tried it.

When you send a large file, it doesn't rename the temp file to the
destination filename; it *copies* it.  Even if they're on the same
filesystem.

As soon as I discovered that, I switched to UUCP.  If MICNET is careless in
copying files, what else is carelessly written?  Best not to find out the
hard way.

(BTW, Smail handles mail aliases just fine, thank you very much.)
