decwrl is a USENET backbone site. USENET does not necessarily have anything
at all to do with uucp. We also happen to be a major uucp hub in Silicon
Valley, and we have several people who put a lot of work into making sure
that decwrl works smoothly for uucp.

I suspect that the reason Mark thinks that we think we are not a serious uucp
site is that we choose not to perform automatic routing.   We refuse to
process addresses of the form foo@baz.UUCP. This is a conscious decision on
our part, based on our observations that the automatic routing database has a
lot of garbage in it, and that it will frequently route messages into
hyperspace.

The quality of the database is improving, and we are considering making the
change to our software to turn on automatic routing.
