I've been using Georgia's system for 3 years and receive, maybe, one a month. When I get the occasional call and tell them not to call again, I never get a second call from them. Nice system
Tying together such disparate protocols as fidonet, smtp and uucp at the time was a great hack -- raw power. UUCP for such slow dial-up connections actually inciting a community via usenet and email and creating the whole idea of peer support for operating systems (Unix). Way ahead of its time.
In the old days it was called "ringo". I remember using around 1994/1995 and getting turned on to lots of music. I'd love to get something this simple and and useful running again.

Hey, Asimov's from June 1999 has a story called "Written in Blood" by Chris Lawson that covers this idea. Highly recommended.
