	If I might rephrase your problem, mail which reached your system
via a UUCP channel contains a header or return address information which
can't be recognized by your user interface. Alternatively, your mail 
transfer agent is unable to transform a specific address into a form
recognizable by UUCP.

	The proposed construct shown above is not universally recognized,
and even where legal contains at least TWO potential routings, viz:
1) Go to site sjfc via ccicpg and ccit32, and from there follow any recognized
route to uunet.uu.net; 2) Follow any recognized route to uunet.uu.net, and
from there route to sjfc via ccicpg and cci632. FXmail's sdaemon and
alternative rmail support the latter approach. Yet more complex hackerisms
are supported in some implementations.
