    sendmail supports SMTP incl. extensions like TLS, authentication, etc.
    and UUCP.

    For NNCP, you need another software.
    sendmail can pipe mails to applications via stdin in aliases files, so interaction should be possible.

    UUCP can be used over IP, so you can use IPsec to encrypt it.

    Read this PDF: ftp://ftp.micronet-rostov.ru/linux-support/books/system%20administration/server%20soft/O'Reilly%20-%20sendmail%204th%20Edition%20Oct%202007.pdf

    The sendmail package itself also includes README files that explain
    things in detail.

    how to set up

    Via the aliases file or virtuser-alias file.

    It is explained in the documentation, it is just a special alias.
