My guess is that mail will go inbound from cuny via ucl-cs. However that is
a one way gate unless the user is authorised by ucl-cs. This means they
cannot reply to you through it unless they have filled in the forms at UCL.

An alternative route is via ukc, but we explicitly blackhole mail for that
site for funding reasons.

That leaves bitnet, you could probably route via ukacrl and have a twoway
route.
