Please email me ASAP... The *real* problem is that there *IS NO TOP LEVEL* .bitnet domain. Some sites have local mailer configurations that automagically reroute mail for node.bitnet to a gateway, but this is *NOT* guaranteed at all Internet sites. In fact, your problem is probably that your local system's re-routing of .bitnet mail got broken in some manner. The machine in question is also known as 'bitnic.cren.net' - this *should* work for all Internet mail. Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Engineer Virginia Polytechnic Institute
