I'm running UUCP v1.3 and that's exactly what I do so that people can enter
Internet addresses in UUCP%"" and use the REPLY command.
And it's always worked 100%.

Also, you can put in a line that starts with the name "smart-host" in your
U.whatever file equated to the router name and UUCP will send all messages
it cannot route to the router. But I haven't neede to do this as the first
message has always worked a treat. It's documented.
