Mail configuration maintainers, it is long past the time to remove any
support that you might have for the ".CSNET" top level domain name.
This is an unofficial domain name that CSNET sites used to identify
themselves at one time. The typical rule for this would send any mail
so addressed to CSNET-RELAY.ARPA or RELAY.CS.NET.

RELAY.CS.NET has been bouncing mail addressed in that manner for some
time now, with deprecatory note about it.

All hosts that used to use this type of name now have an official
domain name that everyone should be using (and if you're not, the mail
is bouncing anyway).

	For Your Information,

P.S.	Followups are directed to comp.mail.sendmail
