UUNET *is not a general-purpose forwarder.* Remember that. UUNET forwarding will go away just as soon as they decide that too many people are using them as a miscellaneous site to bounce everything off of. UUNET exists for their customers, and may become like AT&T, in that if you're not mailing to one of their customers, you can just bugger off.
