No, nothing is broken! Uucp file transfers involving more than two
hosts is theoretically possible, but such transfers are supported on
few platforms, provided permission is granted. The means of granting such
permission varies between platforms and implementations. Given the number
of hops between the original poster's source and destination systems, the
likelihood that all would accommodate is virtually nil. Lucky for us all,
given the security implications alone.
