To elaborate on Geoff's comments, I should say that utzoo is going to get
smarter about dotted addresses fairly soon, but will continue to refuse to
do automatic routing for mail passing through.  This was a policy decision
made long ago:  we have a lot of uucp connections and do a lot of mail
relaying already, and do *not* want to also become the "router of last
resort" for other sites.  Any mail sent to us for relaying had better be
explicitly addressed to one of our immediate neighbors (although once we
are on the U of T fiber network, which is imminent, that will include a
large number of machines).
