  If the message is coming via the ARPAnet, or being gatewayed by any
subnet which sees UUNET as the gateway into (what used to be?) usenet,
then it will be directed by UUNET to the proper recipient.
  For more precise information about the current connectivity between
the domains and what is/was .uucp, send mail to sri-nic.arpa or UUNET
and ask what the main internets are doing.

ps: UUNET and ARPA are probably trademerks of the U.S. Gummerment, who
    funds them.
