Paul, I assume that the bounced mail comes from unixhost.bigu.edu,
is this so?  In general, real live examples with real live hostnames works 
best when asking for help.

Does unixhost.bigu.edu recognize that pc!user@unixhost.bigu.edu means send
to pc!user at unixhost.bigu.edu?  Not all do.  How far does it get?  Or
does the bouncing come from some other host that thinks that

	"pc!user@unixhost.bigu.edu" 

means send to pc for user@unixhost.bigu.edu.  This is a very common error.

This will tell you whose sendmail.cf is broken.
