You don't.  You would use something like the UUCP maps, "pathalias",
and a mail delivery mechanism that knows about the maps generated by
"pathalias".  The map would contain entries like

	y.foosub.com	foo!bar!bletch!mumble!y_foosub!%s

This would tell the mail delivery mechanism that mail to
"user@y.foosub.com" should be sent out via "uux" to
"foo!bar!bletch!mumble!y_foosub!user".

I think there is also a scheme for routing mail to all hosts within a
given domain through a particular machine.
