Don't feed _too_ badly about it, because...

...we don't.

Hmmm?

Yup.  No UUCP routing.  If you send mail to decwrl!xyzzy!person, then xyzzy had
better be one of...

	a dotted internet domain, MX or A record known to the root named's
	an internal (decnet or SMTP) host
	a UUCP neighbor of decwrl

...the one thing we don't do (yet) is find a path to "xyzzy" if they aren't
found in the above search path but are in the UUCP map.

It's coming.  RSN.  The glow is almost visible on the horizon.
