If you read your manual, particularly the pages on mail, uucp, and uux,
you'll see that multiple hop message forwarding is implemented by mail,
not by uucp or uux.  If you want to send stuff via a multihop path, either
you disguise it as mail or use something like Berklix's uusend.

System V put multiple hops into uucp itself with some strange
restrictions, but since all intermediate sites need to run System V uucp
also, this isn't likely to be of much help until System V becomes a lot
more widely used than it is now.
