The UK and NO links were really arpanet links, not internet, and

reasonably sure that mail from janet users to arpanet users did not
travel over the arpnet's UK link. I suspect the same was true of Norway.
UK email followed a number of gateways to reach Internet, each
performing the required address inversion from NRS to Host/DNS. Amongst
the gateways was uk.ac.uk.cs.nss which performed address conversion and
which sent emails across the Atlantic via SatNet to ames.arc.nasa.gov
