 For reasons of funding, neither UKC or UCL will forward mail for unauthorised
 users. In the UK we have to pay the network bills for transatlantic traffic,
 so if someone can't or won't pay their share of these costs, UCL and UKC have
 not much option but to silently junk the mail. 

Well, ucl *doesn't* silently junk mail addressed to unauthorised users;
my experience shows that cs.ucl.ac.uk returns the mail to the sender
with a message stating that it doesn't gratuitously forward mail.
