Our address from desk to unix looks like: ux_acct (ux_acct)/loc/sub_loc where ux_acct is my unix account name, loc and sub_loc are location code and sublocation codes. The mail is dumped onto the unix hub and directed to ux_acct, where ever that account lives. This implies that all ux_acct's are unique - or that there are more than one gateway. Also, we use the autoforward on the hpdesk to redirect our mail to the unix hub over the gateway. This eliminates the need for desk users to know our unix acct names. I don't know if this solves your problem, but it works for us. bobk@hpda.hp.com
