There are two ways to fix this:

1. remove the entry for uk.ac.man from the table generated by c-nrs and
   let the ftp system figure out the routing.

2. make a small change to chn/MAKE in the awk script for the janet channel
   where it thinks that rules like
	uk.ac.man.cs.ux		uk.ac.man.cs.ux
   can be taken care of by the "general rule" and thus doesn't generate a
   sendmail rule for it.  The problem is that a match for uk.ac.man is
   found before the general rule is tried...

   The change is simply to remove the two lines of code thus:

	if ( $1 == $2 )
	{       if ( $1 ~ /^uk\./ )     # general rule will catch this
                        break
		printf "R$+@%s\t\t$@<$1@%s>%s.janet\n", $1, $1, $1
	}

	becomes:

	if ( $1 == $2 )
		printf "R$+@%s\t\t$@<$1@%s>%s.janet\n", $1, $1, $1

   There is a catch with this: namely that (assuming your c-nrs program
   generates an entry for every site in the nrs and not just the ones with
   application relays) your sendmail.cf will become very large and may be
   a bit slow.  Probably not a problem with a Sequent Symmetry mind.
