- OK, here's something to stew on over the holidays, since I won't be back to
- read any replies until 4 January:
-
- We currently run with psulias.bitnet as our local host alias; we have both JNET
- for BITNET access and Multinet for SMTP/Internet access. We've been asked to
- combine with all other nodes within the university and use Internet, not
- BitNet, as the preferred interface. That is, change our local host alias to
- psulias.psu.edu, but then some.... If a node is not suffixed by a domain
- specification, we want it to default to .psu.edu, making it required that any
- BitNet Email have the pseudo-domain specification of .BITNET on it in order to
- not be mapped to a local (and probably non-existant) Penn State node.
-
- What's the simplest way to do this? What of the things we're doing now (e.g.,
- processing Bitnet XMAILER.NAMES files every month, etc.) would change? Here's
- my PMDF.CNF file:
