	In your smail "paths" file, you need a line which
	refers to ".bitnet", so in your pathalias local
	file make a line which says:

		.bitnet	utgpu(LOCAL)

	assuming you are posting from a Toronto site,
	and that you have a set of valid map entries for
	routing to "utgpu". Although "utgpu" isn't the
	only such gateway, it is one of the most locally
	available. You must be respectful of this resource
	so as not to overtax its capacity.

	The machine which is know as "utgpu" to the
	uucp world is known as "UTORGPU" in BitNet-land.
	You can send to "<person>@<host>.bitnet" and
	the mail ought to go thru as long as <person> &
	<host> exist, etc.

	Going the other way, you must explicitly route out
	from utgpu: "<route>!<...>!<site>!<person> AT UTORGPU".
	Note that the VM/CMS user *must* have the "mixed-case"
	option set on in his mailer so that it won't
	convert everything to caps in the header & get the
	mail misrouted. One way to do this easily is to use
	a "MAIL NAMES" file which associates a nickname
	with all the boring details - you then just mail
	to "<nickname>" and worry less 8^)...
