It's rather simple actually, and at the end of this I've appended
a description.  But first ...

Using something like

	uucp-host!user@bitnet-host

isn't clear.  This is because you can't tell ahead of time which
of the two "operators" to "evaluate" first.  That incantation could
either mean to send it to the bitnet-host first or the uucp-host
first and would end up at two different places ...



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

	In article <3136@ihuxv.ATT.COM> johnnyr@ihuxv.ATT.COM (John R. Rosenberg) writes:

	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.
