[mail.uk-sendmail-workers] help!

Hi.
I'm hoping someone can help me sort out a couple of problems I'm having 
installing UK Sendmail 2.1 on Sequent Symmetry.

We have a single Janet link onto a single machine so all mail has to go
through this machine. We also have a number of local ethernet hosts some
NRS registered, some not.

Obviously the janet linked machine must act as a gateway for the other
NRS registered ether hosts but although I have added these NRS registered
ether hosts to the ether.chn file the configuration still insists on sending
the mail to by niftp.
eg.
	person@uk.ac.cov.nrs_reg_on_ether

	becomes

	person%uk.ac.cov.nrs_reg_on_ether@uk.ac.cov delivered by niftp

when it should be delivered over the ether....


I am probably missing something major here. Forgive the naivety on my
part but I've never done anything like this before.

If someone can help, then drop me a line and I can provide more detail.

thanks,
