There is an article in the October 1986 issue of *Communications of the
ACM* which gives an excellent discussion of networks and has a nice,
handy chart for gateway addressing.  While the chart is only a collection
of suggested ways, it had an interesting one for BITNET --> UUCP.  It
said:

host1!host2!host3!system!userid@PSUVAX1

and you might have him try:

 (this was the way one message appeared to
                              be addressed to us.  I am not familiar
                              with Gmail so this may be Gmail syntax.
			      NOTE: the header on this message showed
                              being relayed from psuvax1 to gatech.)

We had the need to do sort of what you are wanting to do from BITNET to
UUCP, and some type of addressing thru PSUVAX1 did finally succeed.  None-
theless, from my experience so far, mail from BITNET to UUCP is no 
ordinary affair, and can be a bit tricky.  If I come across anything
more, I will send it along.  Hope this helps some.

Mark.
