uucp is a very old-fashioned protocol, older than the internet, it was made to copy blocks of data from one another to server in a long chain over connections like part-time dialup lines. Is your server even supposed to be running it?

uustat
uustat(1c) uustat(1c)
Name
uustat - uucp status inquiry and job control
Syntax
uustat [ options ]
Description
The command either displays the status of or cancels previously specified commands, or it provides general status on connections to other
systems.
Options
-chour
Removes entries older than specified hour. This option can only be executed by the user or the super-user.
-jall
Reports status of all requests.
-kjobn
Kills specified job. The killed request must belong to the person issuing the command unless that person has "super-user" privilege.
-mmch
Reports status of accessibility of machine mch. If mch is specified as all, then the status of all machines known to the local are pro-
vided.
-ohour
Reports status of requests which are older than specified hour.
-ssys
Reports status of requests for specified system.
-uuser
Reports status of requests issued by specified user.
-v Invokes verbose printout option. If this option is not specified, a status code is printed with each request.
-yhour
Reports status of all requests that are younger than specified hour.
When no options are given, outputs the status of all requests issued by the current user. Note that only one of the options -j, -m, -k,
-c, can be used with the other options. For example, the command
uustat -usteve -slimbo -y63 -v
will print the verbose status of all jobs that were issued by user steve destined for system limbo within the last 63 hours. The format of
each job status entry is:
job# user destination spool_time status_time status
where the status may be either an octal number or a verbose description. The octal code corresponds to the following description:
OCTAL STATUS
00001 Copy failed for unknown reasons.
00002 Permission to access local file is denied.
00004 Permission to access remote file is denied.
00010 Bad uucp command is generated.
00020 Remote system cannot create temporary file.
00040 Cannot copy to remote directory.
00100 Cannot copy to local directory.
00200 Local system cannot create temporary file.
00400 Cannot execute uucp.
01000 Copy succeeded.
02000 Copy finished, job deleted.
04000 Job is queued.
The format for the machine accessibility status entries is:
system status_time last_success_time status
where
system is the system in question
status_time
is the time the last status entry was made.
last_success_time
is the last time a connection was successfully made to this system. A conversation could be ended prematurely after a successful
connection.
status is a self-explanatory description of the machine status.
In the current implementation requests are not recorded in the logging files. This implies that mail and news requests are not recorded by
Files
/usr/spool/uucp/ spool directory (top level)
/usr/lib/uucp/L_stat system status file
/usr/lib/uucp/R_stat request status file
