Hmm; no wonder I have all this traffic to wso!  Things are particularly
clogged up right now since wso isn't answering the phone.  I've manually
gone through the messages waiting for wso and revectored those meant for
someone@somewhere.stanford.edu via the Internet.  I've put a hack in my
sendmail.cf so that mail sent to wso!string will now be sent to
string@wso.stanford.edu so messages should now bounce much faster!

An amusing note:  Rick Bogart, the postmaster at wso, had sent a map update
which no longer had the offending gateway line to cbosgd!uucpmap which got
bounced to my machine awaiting a connection to wso!  I revectored this
message to uucpmap@rutgers.edu...
