- Routing non-Internet mail is up to the local site to determine.
- In other words, it's not elm's problem, but rather your mailer. Check
- with your local postmaster on how to address BITNET mail. (Most sites
- on the Internet aren't configured to handle BITNET mail. This may
- be the case.)

- Also, please get your news software fixed too. "arachana@hkusub"
- is not a valid domain address.
