Common mistake. ;-)

You still need an MX record for blurk.tcja.nl (pointing to
mailhub.tcja.nl).  If you don't want this, you have to turn off
name canonicalization.

FEATURE(nocanonify)

is the trick.  I would prefer the MXes however.  This works fine,
*.sax.de does it this way (though we offer both, ``classic'' UUCP and
UUCP over TCP).
