 Sure.  And when I relay Internet mail to 'uucpnode', and a user on
'uucpnode' does a R(eply), my machine gets to relay a lot of the
uucpnode's local mail back to it, since that node doesn't understand
the form of address on the header so sends it to its forwarding relay
for interpretation.

 If I am going to follow this procedure I had better start charging real
money for relay services.  I will probably pick up quite a bit of cash
just from this stupid 'local relaying'.  But, come to think of it, as
the money rolls in I should save it to pay for the lawyers.  Some day the
uucpsite admin is going to complain that with this improved service
(of not munging headers) that I am charging him for, something funny is
happening - he is not getting many replies to mail.  Probably because
all of those Internet sites having difficulty replying to 'uucpsite!user'.
