One question we just came across when thinking about this and we
couldn't find an answer:
Assuming we have two INN2 installations on machines more than one hop
away from one another, how would be the best way to move a batch from
Machine 1 to Machine 3, without an installation of INN on Machine 2
between them.
Would this have to be defined in the send-uucp.cf of INN or rather in
the port/sys settings of uucp itself?

I came across this question a few years ago. This would have to be done
in send-uucp. But as far as I know send-uucp does not support this. You
would have to dive into the the source code of send-uucp and implement it.

although. I guess one could have a script running to push any
batch-files further down the line.

 Maybe all it'd take would be editing the rnews command in the
execute files for the remote system. Something like:
      sed 's/fakeremote/intermediate\!trueremote/' X.<file>
 run by a cron job?

send-uucp is a pretty easy to read perl script. Adding it there is probably easier than those hacky ideas.
