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.
