You've got it mostly right. Add a rule to PMDF to remap the bogus address to
your official-local-host name, as you said:
!Currently this rule is in the file:
psulias.psu.edu $U@psulias.bitnet
!Should I add this one to do it all?
lias.psu.edu $U@psulias.bitnet
The purpose of the rule is to make sure your PMDF recognizes anything with the
other name and delivers it locally. Without the rule, your PMDF will put it
back out on the network and it will go nowhere.

Almost right, except that an MX record does not point at an IP address, it
points at a name. In your case you want it to point at "psulias.psu.edu".
