You will have to start batchmai and batch for spooling, take a look on a part
of my batchfile 'doqueue.cli'. $MAILQ is \usr\spool\mqueue

Running the above batch, the articles/mails are in \usr\spool\uucp\xxxxxx

  >How do I actually send / receive to a site?

type 'uuwork host' or use the builtin 'cron'. Here a part of my 
'xhosts'-file:

0:30/5/5-6:31 means:

Try to call novalis from 5:00-6:31. If not successfull, try again all 30
minutes. If sucessfull, don't try again before 5 h are spent/gone.
So uuwork trys to call 5:00, 5:30, 6:00 and 6:30.
 
In \usr\lib\mail\mailmode you must define the mode for 'rsmtp':

# SMTP sites

haudruf R
eesti R
silch R
trans R
bfoxi R
kapetown R
amegas R

+++++++ fetz +++++++ reissab +++++++ beisskante ++++++ schnippel ++++++

R means rmail, S F 128 means 'do rsmtp with FREEZE and packets not bigger 
than 128 kb.


Hope this helps, sorry for my poor english.
