As far as I can tell, there  is no dedicated gateway for .MSSTATE.EDU, so
the mail is routed via INTERBIT. Without a DOMAIN NAMES change or LSV$DNT
exit and given the present topology, this means it goes through Princeton
(whether or  not UGA  ought to  be making such  changes is  another issue
which is  not for  me to  decide). Anyway I  don't see  anything abnormal
here. Why it doesn't arrive is another matter, of course.

I  don't  understand the  'long  detour'  bit,  can you  please  clarify?
Princeton  is one  hop  away from  UGA,  and as  you  know geography  and
networks  don't go  together  very well.  From  the network  perspective,
Princeton isn't very  far from Georgia; some places in  Texas are farther
away than that.
