Ok.  This does it .. time for me to begin Commonly Asked Mail Questions:

A: You route the mail through a UUCP-BITNET gateway.  The best known such
   gateway is psuvax1.{uucp,bitnet,psu.edu}.  You do this like:

	path!path!psuvax1!host.bitnet!user

   Where "path!path" is the path from your site to psuvax1.  There are
   other gateways listed in the file d.Top which is posted occasionally
   in comp.mail.maps.

   If you use pathalias to generate a routing database for you, and have
   your mailer consult this database when sending out mail, then all
   you should have to do is use "host.bitnet!user" or "user@host.bitnet".



Sorry John.  But I've been meaning to start this file anyway and your
question prompted me to do it.
