A rule has been added to AIX sendmail that now allows users to mail messages to BITNET without having to specify a remote gateway (e.g. interbit). This rule now points to a local gateway within one of the IBM VM systems at Cal Poly. Messages should be addressed as follows: user@host.bitnet Users should check their .mailrc files and change any aliases to reflect this new routing. Managers of other campus machines, which use Internet mail, should contact Academic Computing Services for a copy of the rule.
