Your response should go to the Berkeley mail gateway (Ucb-C70). The uucp path is used instead of a user name. Thus 'decvax!harpo!eagle!wheps!alc @ Ucb-C70' is a valid address. BTW, the '!' if you haven't already figured it out is used to separate path components; uucp is primitive and the user must specify the appropriate path himself.
