|We are currently on both Usenet and the Internet.  I am receiving some

	It might be useful for you to elaborate
	on the nature of said pressure. It's not
	exactly a friendly move to cut off uucp
	connections...

|                                    We currently use pathalias to
|route the UUCP mail.  Any mail to addresses ending in .com, .edu, etc.
|we hand off to our Internet gateway machine for delivery.

|If we remove ourselves from Usenet, how should we route mail to get to
|UUCP-only sites?  I know I could just pick a well-known UUCP-Internet
|gateway, but this seems abusive.  Is there some accepted method, or
|are we not supposed to send mail to UUCP nodes via the Internet at
|all?

	You need the permission of the
	host you intend to hand off to.
