Well, CONFIGURE.COM usually sets things up correctly.  However, you may not
have ever used CONFIGURE.COM.  (Nothing wrong with that; most ancient PMDF
sites have never had cause to run that procedure.)

Anyhow, check to see if there is a local alias on your bit_local channel;
e.g., see if it looks something like

   bit_local ...
   JNET-DAEMON  MEDCOLPA
                ^local alias


If the "MEDCOLPA.BITNET" is missing, then go ahead and add it.  Also, check
your file PMDF_ROOT:[TABLE]BITNET_DOMAINS_DRIVER.COM file (or whatever you use
to drive PMDF_ROOT:[EXE]BITNET_DOMAINS.COM) and see if you define a
BITNET_ALIAS symbol; e.g.,

   $ bitnet_alias = "MEDCOLPA"

After making any changes, be sure to recompile and reinstall your configuration
(assuming that you use a compiled configuration) and restart BN_SLAVE with the
command PMDF RESTART BN_SLAVE.

Now, if both of these items looks okay, then it might have something to do with
your entry in DOMAIN.NAMES or XMAILER.NAMES....  Let us know if this is the
case and we'll take it from there.
