A IBM mainframe which is on bitnet will soon be turned off.
I would dearly like to find a way to forward any and all future 
mail destined for this bitnet host to an arbitrary Internet host.

Sorta the bitnet analog of removing a host's A record and changing
its MX to point to another host.

I would think this would be easy, but a system programmer at the IBM
host which is upstream RSCS'wise from the doomed bitnet host claims
it aint so easy. At least on his IBM.

While I eat sendmail.cf files for breakfast and configure bind for
lunch, I am most ignorant about the ways and means of RSCS and the
bitnet world. 

Any ideas?
