Not a bad attempt to use the BITNET gateway for free mail to/from the UK.

>Seeing as Imperial are failrly big they have probably payed up their
>UkNet subscription
I don't think the computer centre has an account with UKC, so mail passing
through there will dissappear (vaxa.cc is a VMS machine after all).
The department of computing does have a UKnet account, see my signature for
details.

A safer way of expressing this would be:

	...!ukc!uk.ac.ic.cc.vaxa!umeed04

(but it won't work for reasons explained above).  UKC is fairly well
connected, and known to the backbone sites (correct me if I'm wrong please).

>UKACRL.BITNET (I think) and then use umeed04@uk.ac.ic.cc.vaxa from

I think the US end of the BITNET gateway is at CUNY, hence the original
address was almost correct.  Try:

	umeed04%vaxa.cc.ic.ac.uk@cunyvm.cuny.edu
