Maybe someone who's done this before can lend me a clue:

I want to deal with mail addressed to "user@host.BITNET" by forwarding
it to my nearest BITNET-connected neighbour for delivery.  So in my
sendmail M4 config file I used

define(PSEUDODOMAINS, UUCP BITNET)
define(MAILERTABLE, LIBDIR/mailertable)

I created a mailertable with the following line:

TCP,vb.cc.cmu.edu       .BITNET

and build the dbm file with

dbm -d mailertable load < mailertable

and presto, I now have mailertable.{dir,pag} files.  However, sendmail
tells me "user@buacca.BITNET... Host buacca not known within the
BITNET domain"

What's the deal?

P.S. this is Sendmail 5.65c/IDA 1.4.4
