Well, there is another problem. Mail to user SYSTxxxx@RYERSON is(was)
being forwarded to SYST8xxxy@RYERSON, but, now mail is coming in to
RYERSON.BITNET (say, where is that node?) and is not being forwarded
(Mailer R2.03B). I guess this is a reason to goto R2.04 and its rexx
exit where i can strip the bogus '.BITNET'. Even worse, when we ran
X1.25 all mail to 'RYERSON.BITNET' would goto the bitbucket. oh well.
