Your terminology is slightly off-base, to use a baseball metaphor.
 
The "real" problem is that the ID:
 
       <1B01@DHNFHS1>
 
while having correct syntax, is *NOT* a valid ID on the target system.
 
Note that the name 'DHNFHS1' does not match the names of any currently-valid
BITNET nodes.  So, scan your subscriber-list, and look for '1B01',
and remove that ID.
 
The "charlatan" message is issued by 'MAILER@DHNFHS1':
 
   220 DHNFHS1 Columbia MAILER R2.08 R208004 BSMTP service ready.
 
because it received E-mail from 'SMTP@DHNFHS1',
i.e., the SMTP-server-machine on that same host,
which, in turn, received E-mail from:
 
   050 MAIL FROM:<[log in to unmask]>
 
However, 'MAILER@DHNFHS1' has not been instructed to "trust" that the
'SMTP@DHNFHS1' machine is to be allowed to act as an intermediary in the
mail-delivery process.  So, the "charlatan" warning-message is issued.
 
   250-<[log in to unmask]> does not correspond to RSCS origin
                                 of DHNFHS1 SMTP. You are a charlatan.
 
Contact the "postmaster" at the specific site,
and point out this "configuration-problem" to them.
