Not any more. The UK Internet gateway has moved and now has a leased
line to NSFnet at Princeton. It has no authorisation controls for the UK
academic community. If your site is registered in the .ac.uk domain, you
are able to send and receive Internet mail no bother.
For the other UK subdomains, the problem remains. Fortunately, these
sites are mostly UUCP sites in the .co.uk domain who promise to pay
their UKC bills.
