- Sure -- anyone on the Internet can send to .BITNET addresses. It is very
- easy; you just use something like:
-
- user%host.bitnet@cunyvm.cuny.edu
-
- The gateway host cunyvm.cuny.edu is just one of several possibilities.
-
- The PMDF configuration procedure automatically generated a .BITNET rule
- for hosts that aren't on BITNET directly, so you can actually type in
-
- user@host.bitnet
-
-
- on a properly configured PMDF system that's only on the Internet and the
- address will be handled properly. The rewrite rule is something like:
-
- .bitnet $U@$H.BITNET@cunyvm.cuny.edu@MTCP-DAEMON
-
- This will vary depending on the TCP/IP implementation you use.
