Well, there are two possibilities. Deleting the BITNET node entry will
cause all the Revised LISTSERVs to quickly and efficiently remove all
BITNET subscriptions for the NJE addresses, but that does have side
effects that you probably don't want (eg, loss of BITNET connectivity).
 
The other alternative is to put a :newnode. tag in your BITEARN NODES
entry with a domain name of a host willing to accept the mail; it could
be the domain name of the BITNET node if it's also on the Internet. This
has the effect of forcing all the Revised LISTSERVs to change the address
entries for the affected UNL nodes to that FQDN, and thus, forcing
delivery via SMTP instead of NJE. It also disallows further subscriptions
to mailing lists with the NJE address, so you may need to do some user
education on how to subscribe to lists since TELL won't work any more.
 
It can take several cycles of the BITEARN NODES database to get this
accomplished, as some sites don't update their nodes tables immediately,
but it should handle the problem neatly.

You should investigate getting Revised Listserv for Unix. 'Free' means
you get exactly what you paid for, in this case.
