Internet mail address question

Greetings:

I am posting this question on different groups because there is
more than one which may help.

I operate a Pegasus Mail/Charon Gateway combination.  Our domain
is "csuohio.edu" and our Novell file server address is
"lawlords.law.csuohio.edu" Our Charon Gateway address is
"charon.law.csuohio.edu" 

I am easily able to send e-mail to all Internet and Bitnet
locations, and MOST hosts seem able to send us mail.  However,
there are many hosts and some are on the same campus, with the
same domain, that cannot send mail to "lawlords.law.csuohio.edu"
at all.

I have also noticed that sometimes I am unable to get mail
delievered normally from certain Archie sites (they always
indicate some error), for example.  I have begun to suspec that
our address is too long, that the "law" in
"lawlords.law.csuohio.edu" should be removed, making the address
"lawlords.csuohio.edu" instead, and that this might alleviate
the problem entirely.  I am hesitant to request these changes to
be made until I can get some kind of confirmation or agreement
from knowledgeable and experienced Internet users.  I have the
permission and blessings of the administrators for the internet
(we are all fairly new at this) to inquire about this subject.
Any feedback would be appreciated.  You may email me directly at
either joer@lawlords.law.csuohio.edu or at loki@asgard.csuohio.edu. 

Thanks for the help!

Regards-
