Our sendmail.cf was set up so that we couldn't mail to user@node.bitnet
directly.  I think this is fixed, but I'm not sure.  Are there any bitnet
addresses I can mail to that will just echo something back to me? (a
misc.test sort of service)

Sending e-mail to a BITNET site with any kind of decent mailer, that
addresses a non-existent userid, will do it.  You'll get a no-such-local-
user mail bounce.

This one's guaranteed to bounce: bouncer@ysub.bitnet  (that's our local
bitnet+internet node).
