 +- Does this mean what I think it does? Does the EUnet backbone reject mail
 which has a non-subscribing European site anywhere in the path, i.e. 
 xyz!mcvax!uunet!i2ack? Or do they only reject mail addressed directly,
 i.e. mcvax!i2ack?

 If the former, then this is a most blatant violation of the USENET spirit
 I have come across.

 They would be behaving like their national PTTs in their most monopolistic
 heyday!
