We've been set up to accept both BITNET and MAILNET addresses for
some time now.  The position we take is that addresses destined for 
the Internet should be of the form:

	name%BTHOST.BITNET@UDEL-RELAY.ARPA

But, in inbound mail we accept this form, and the "name@BTHOST.BITNET"
as destined for the mailnet site (remember that all that is left of the ":"
is informational only.)
