Hopefully this is NOT a FAQ.

Anyway,

We are a BITNET only site, but are also registerred with the NIC as
MEDCOLPA.EDU.  Using PMDF, I have our address being rewritten to read
user@ccc.medcolpa.edu.  This has been working quite well (after a few
changes to the way we were registerred), until I tried to renew some
AFD to NETSERV@PUCC.  Since NETSERV is a NJE only server, it will only
accept mail addresses with NJE syntax (user@medcolpa) and NOT domain style
addresses.  Is there a way to make PMDF forward a BITNET style return
address if the outgoing mail is sent to a BITNET only site or server and
domain style to all others.  It seems that I have seen or read something
addressing this matter before.  If so, I would be more than willing in
reading the manual if directed to the appropriate location.

Thanks in advance.
