Yes.  I have used this a few times in the last 18 months.  Mostly for 
fun through my small UUCP network.

I thought at least one of the other contemporary MTAs also supported UUCP.

I would assume anything that does support UUCP would also support 
bang-routing as I believe that's more of a UUCP function than an MTA 
function.  So I'm surprised at the idea that other things that do 
support UUCP don't support bang-routing.
