Uh, I don't know what system Ray is thinking of, but the sendmail files
here are configured so as *NOT* to do the above.  Instead, when
presented with a address like that, the mail will get passed to the
uucp mailer for delivery via uucp mail to "arpa-gateway".  If anyone
out there in netland ever sees any *uucp* mail passing through "gatech"
which does something different, I'd love to see it.  I've put long
hours into getting the sendmail.cf files to behave properly in such
circumstances.
