	Since I've seen some other postings bout this subject, I might
as well ask for help for my problem:
	I'm trying to reach my cousin in LSE (London School of Economics)
from the U of Wisc where I am.
I have sent him a mail using the address
	leopoulos%vax2.lse.ac.uk@uunet.uu.net
that someone (not the sysadmin for the machine) said it should work.

	The mail reached its destination, since I got a reply with headers:

	Well, now the funny part: I learned (by telephone) that
my cousin has been contacted by the Foreign Office and cautioned
NEVER to receive such mail again, or he'll be deported !!!
Needless to say, my cousin was very upset and I haven't tried 
to reach him again...

	Could someone (Mr. Brian Tompsett ?) explain what (and,
if possible, why) hapenned ? Is there a way to send mail to LSE ?
(without any danger for my cousin :-)

		Thanx
