Just sitting here remembering the early days of the Australian Internet (early 90s/AARNet), when a trench digger running through a field to lay fibre optic cable for Optus - then the shiny new telco for Australia - and accidentally ran through Telstra’s cable and severed Melbourne and Sydney.

Yes! There were big thick compilations of how to send emails between various networks. I think this (1990) is the one I remember though my network, AARNet (Aus, 1989, effectively Internet) isn’t even listed (too new?) https://vtda.org/docs/computing/UniversityOfWarwick/JANET-Mail-Gateways.pdf
16 5.1.1 Examples Assume that mondib, tiped and ucyvax have been checked out against netdir@uk.ac.ukc Address as given by remote correspondent who to mail ...seismo!lll-crg!mondib!jones try jones%uucp.mondib@uk.ac.ukc or jones%mondib%uucp.lll-crg@uk.ac.ukc or even jones%mondib%lll-crg%net.uu.uunet@uk.ac.ukc ...mcvax!seismo!tiped!martin martin%uucp.tiped@uk.ac.ukc ...{ihnp4 seismo}!ucyvax!mary mary@uucp.ucyvax@uk.ac.ukc ...ihnp4!gateck!dcbtla!jeh Now let’s assume that dcbtla doesn’t check out against the directory (netdir@uk.ac.ukc), so we can’t use jeh%uucp.dcbtla@uk.ac.ukc. However, gateck checks out as OK, so it’s: jeh%dcbtla%uucp.gateck@uk.ac.ukc 5.1.2 Contacts Contact point for the UKC UUCP Gateway is: uknet@uk.ac.ukc 5.2 Sending Via EARN The EARN node at Rutherford recognizes the domain ‘uucp’, and passes the mail to a gateway site in the USA. This in turn knows about the uucp world maps. If the address is given as: person@site or person@site.uucp then use person%uucp.site@uk.ac.earn-relay If the address is given as a !-style address (...site1!site2!final-site!user) pick out the final site, and send the mail to: user%UUCP.final-site@UK.AC.EARN-RELAY If final-site is not in the uucp maps (send mail to netdir@uk.ac.ukc to check - see above) then you can try either of user%final-site%UUCP.site2@UK.AC.EARN-RELAY or if you really must: final-site!user%uucp.site2@uk.ac.earn-relay If you do have to use this sort of address, try to avoid multiple trips across the Atlantic. This means knowing where the sites in the route are. Mail routed as UUCP.site@UK.AC.EARN-RELAY will get routed via an EARN (BITNET) UUCP gateway in the USA. If you know the uucp site you are mailing to is in Europe, you can specify a more efficient route by user%site.uucp%gateway@uk.ac.earn-relay Where gateway is one of: mcvax The EARN name for cwi.nl in the Netherlands unido In Germany ariadne In Greece
