  Please do not do this! Mail to first.last@f#.n#.z#.fidonet.org (where
f# is f and then the fidonet node number, n# is n and then the net
number and z# is z and then the zone number, and .fidonet.org is our
domain) and let the maps and internet MX system do the forwarding to
the correct site.  The maps are set up to say who is willing to mail to
what network. Mailing above way will force someone else to pay the
bill.  Not only that, but nanook left off the .fidonet.org that is
_required_ after z1 in the address.

For full information, request the file "ufgate.how" from me or any other
UFGATE (UUCP/FidoNet Gateway) site, as listed in the maps (grep for
.fidonet.org).
