The following article was posted to the NODMGT-L@BITNIC.BITNET mailing list (aka bit.listserv.nodmgt-l). The DOMAIN-L@BITNIC.BITNET mailing list, where further discussion is being carried on, is bit.listserv. domain-l.

Future announcements on DOMAIN-L, BITNEWS, and TECHNEWS only. Please use DOMAIN-L for discussion.) Thanks to the kind cooperation of Princeton University and of UUNET Communications Services (which has provided a special interface to UUCP, for BITNET only), a new BITNET<->UUCP gateway is now available. It is known as UUCPGATE to BITNET sites and is documented in the new version of DOMAIN NAMES and BITNET GATES, and included in the March (9103) routing tables, so it should require little end-user education. Obviously, however, these new files must be installed and your MAILER's reference to them updated, in order for the new gateway to be accessed for mail to the UUCP domain. Mail to BITNET from USENET and UUNET will now have to be sent via UUNET and UUCPGATE (presently known to UUNET only as pucc.princeton.edu), in order to reach a BITNET node through this new gateway. For example, to reach the BITNET address CONKLIN@BITNIC from a UUCP node, the following address should work: ...!uunet!pucc.princeton.edu!bitnic!conklin John Wagner is attempting to get bitnet.uucp registered with UUNET. After that has been accomplished, it should be possible to use addresses such as ...!uunet!bitnet!bitnic!conklin but such an address does not work yet.
