	It seems logical for sites which are Internet/UUCP
	gateways to declare MX records for all the systems
	that they publish in their pathalias map entries -


		sitex.uucp.	MX	10	mail.mysys.mydom.
		sitey.uucp.	MX	10	mail.mysys.mydom.
		...


	I know we don't do this at my workplace, but there
	seems no obvious reason not to do so.
