I have an account on a VMS machine far away.  The said machine
has DecNet connections to Ultrix machines willing to act as
UUCP gateways.  Sending a message to myself works fine, both ways.
Yet I cannot forward all my mail from there to here because,
I've been told, the DecNet-Ultrix gateway can handle SPOCK::"foo@a,bar@b"
but not two SPOCK::"foo@a", SPOCK::"foo@b", where a and b are UUCP
sites.  So whenever two people in a mailing list happen to forward
UUCP mail through the same host, boom.

My personal suspicion is a local configuration problem rather than
a Ultrix software problem.  Since the people there are relatively new
at these things, I presume they are running vanilla 1.2 and VMS 4.2

Thanks in advance.  I'm getting bored with remote log-ins...
