mailrus is one of our uucp gateway machines. it has suffered a disk crash
and hasn't been answering the door lately... However, uunet should not have
to rely on mailrus to get mail thru to atari.archive. You might try sending
your uucp mail to uunet!atari.archive.umich.edu!atari, though I'm not sure
that it will give a different result at uunet, given the behavior you cite.

Of course, now that I think of it, even if you *can* get the message thru,
uunet will probably rewrite the header to say from user@host.uucp, and
the mailer at atari.archive will try to send to mailrus to get it forwarded.
Oh well... No good suggestions for the moment.
