Currently a sendmail configuration that I have running "rewrites" 
(changes from ! path to %@ path), delivers mail to its next hop.
The Internet site which recives the message and then gateways it
on to the UUCP network fails to rewrite it back into a ! path.

[ By example:
     user sends mail to: 	user@a
     rewritten to      :	user%a%b%c%d@e
     site 'e' delivers
       to UUCP site 'd':	user%a%b%c@d
     site 'c' recieves :        user%a%b@c
       and site 'c' is
       unable to parse
       a '%' path!
]

Thus my question is: since site 'e' gatewayed the mail message into
UUCP, should they not change the %@ path into a ! path?
