  18. There's no easy way to bypass a forwarding host whose
  19. modem pool isn't working.  Mail to MX clients arrives
  20. just fine in the spool on the forwarding host, and
  21. waits until UUCP comes back.
  22.  
  23. Having multiple forwarders adds reliability on the
  24. Internet side, but it doesn't help when the problem
  25. is on the UUCP side.
