Sending mail from BITNET to FidoNet is relatively easy, if the BITNET
mailer knows what to do with domain names, i.e., route to an Internet
gateway, one which reads MX records.

If, for example, one wants to send to FidoNet user john smith at 1:2/3.4,
then one addresses the mail to 'john.smith@p4.f3.n2.z1.fidonet.org'
I suspect that PACEVM can handle this.

To send to Internet, a FidoNet user sends to 'uucp' at nearest gateway site,
which must be learned from FidoNet, and sets first line of message to
'To: user@domain'.  I don't know for sure, but it seems reasonable that
making the first message line 'To: user%node@domain' would work for BITNET.
The gateway site may be shown on mail coming _from_ UUCP, Internet, etc.
