UUCP isn't really P2P unless you configure each login for every peer.
Classic UUCP relied a lot on other's servers as hops between sender and
recipient.  There is a config option for unknown systems, but I cannot
guess how to use it.  In contrast to anonymous UUCP one would need to
know whom to reply to and that then again would need to set up that
connection.  That still looks like config hell in a P2P case to me.

Plain SMTP over some encrypted mesh would be far easier.  That mesh just
has to be found.

They declare the C version being unmaintainable and praise Rust now.
