The default configuration does not contain sample crontab entries for
UUCP.  You have to add them manually, in particular, you need to run
/usr/libexec/uucp/uucico (with some flags) on a regular basis.  It's
hard to tell remotely what might be most appropriate for your
environment.

Run info(1), and select the UUCP section.  Taylor UUCP documentation
is in Texinfo format originally.

You could use HDB-UUCP config files (Bear book) if you want, but it's
not really recommendable; Taylor config files are more rationale and
more powerful.
