A couple of years ago, I ran into the same problem with folks from
BITNET trying to e-mail to me at my internet address through CUNYVM.
At that time, CUNYVM wasn't running a mailer that did name resolution
with BIND. So they had only the list of hosts that was in the hosts.txt
file distributed by Stanford, which is now woefully inadequate. I pressed
our postmaster to get CUNYVM to change this, but he said they were
resistant.
I have no idea what's happened since then.
