These problems have nothing whatever to do with what version of UUCP
someone is running.  All of the domain and gateway translations
are handled by other software (such as sendmail), which then passes
stuff along to UUCP for transfer.  UUCP doesn't do any fancy routing
and knows nothing of domains or gateways.  Changing the version of UUCP
a site is running will have no effect on the sorts of problems mentioned,
only getting properly functioning routing software (whether sendmail
or something else) can do that.
