I know that from the login for pop3. I can remember that my first login at my
Internetcomunity a special ISP was longer that 8 chars. I was able to 
login, but
I couldn't read mail with pop3. After changing login to 6 chars I become 
able to
read mails with pop3.

For uucp it was no problem to handle mail.

Ruprecht
