You should be able to mail the janet site without explicit routing
over the arpanet. UK is a registered top-level domain. For example
mail:-

	user@site.ac.uk

The uucp gateway and the arpa gateway sites in the UK both run the
same software so if one fails the other probably will as well...

If you want to explicitly route mail from uucp -> janet then route
it via ukc. However if the janet site is blacklisted by ukc the mail
WILL be silently discarded. This is because ukc has to pay for all
international traffic, both receiving AND originating so UK sites
have to agree to pay their share. If they do not agree the ukc gate
will just discard their traffic. This could be what is happening to
your mail.

	postmaster@ukc
