You seem to misunderstand. UUNET is not a network. It is not an
interchangeable term for 'the UUCP network.' It is one specific
machine performing one specific service. Routing mail through the
Internet is another issue entirely (I'm for it). But the management
of UUNET do not wish to handle mail from random machines around the
world. It's their machine, and it's their choiuce to make.
