> 	1) Modify you mailer configuration so that PSUVAX1 is not the
> 	   host you punt to when you can not figure out how to deliver
> 	   something.  For sendmail this would be the sendmail.cf file.
> 
> 	2) Mail to BITNET hosts should be sent to PSUVM.PSU.EDU.  The To:
> 	   address should be of the form:
> 
> 		JoeUser%NODENAME.BITNET@PSUVM.PSU.EDU
> 
> 	   Make sure that '.BITNET' appears after the node name.  The
> 	   CAC has assured me that their mailer 'will do the right
> 	   thing' with these addresses.
> 
> 	3) If you are a BITNET node using PSUVAX1 as an INTERNET gateway
> 	   please start sending the mail to INTERBIT instead.  This is
> 	   the 'official' Internet-BITNET gateway.
> 
> We are still trying to locate a site that will be willing to act as a
> UUCP gateway.  To date we have not been able to locate one.  If one can
> not be located I will try to make the case that we should continue for
> a while longer gatewaying between UUCP and the INTERNET.

> As always I will attempt to help any of you with any questions you
> might have.  Please send e-mail or call me.
