This sounds about right and fairly simple to prevent loopback on your
end. You do have to get UCBVAX to change their forwarding address - do
you have contact with them? I believe that these were setup and
maintained by Erik E. Fair. He should be able to assist. Trick is
contacting him. Maybe postmaster@ucbvax knows. Failing that, try
posting to news.admin.misc asking for general assistance or one of the
whois servers for Erik.
