OK.  Seeing as there isn't a followup from a UK'er in sight, here's
my idea.

The host uk.ac.ic.cc.vaxa (aka uk.ac.imperial.cc.vaxa)
exists and accepts mail (I just checked our NRS
database).  The address starts with uk for JANET sites but most
gateways will reverse it for you anyway.  The user id umeed04 does exist
as I've just mailed it with no error response from the VAX FTP.  So
its either the gateway that isn't mailing you back with errors or
the person you're mailing isn't talking to you.

Seeing as Imperial are failrly big they have probably payed up their
UkNet subscription so try this address:
	...!mcvax!ukc!umeed04@uk.ac.ic.cc.vaxa 
assuming ! have a higher priority than @'s in the uucp world.
If you can get mail onto BITNET then the UK gateway is called
UKACRL.BITNET (I think) and then use umeed04@uk.ac.ic.cc.vaxa from
their.  If you still have no luck then try ...!mcvax!ukc!uknet for
help as they are the experts.
