This question has probably been asked many times, but please, I'm new
here.

I understand that the UUCP extension on addresses is obsolete. For
example, I can't respond to a posting from someone such as
xxx@whatever.UUCP without changing it to xxx@whatever.UU.net.

My question is simply, why do we continue to get UUCP extensions?  Is
it the "whatever" machine's fault, or should my machine's copy of
inews or rn, etc. be able to change UUCP to something proper?
