If you happen to know the Usenet name of a host in the UK, then as a temporary solution, you can use "ukhost!ukuserid@uunet.uu.net". The ARPAnet host uunet.uu.net is an (official?) arpa/usenet gateway and knows how to route mail to all known uucp hosts, including those in the UK. I, for example, have been corresponding with my advisor, Bonnie Webber, who's on sabbatical at Edinburgh, by addressing mail to "eusip!bonnie@uunet.uu.net". Unfortunately, I think this only works for Unix hosts on usenet. Mail to people at ucl-cs can be sent to "ucl-cs!user@uunet.uu.net". Hope that helps.
