Today I attempted to send something to a site in the new US domain.  We run
all the good mail programs here and we're also on the internet.  We're
running the latest bind and sendmail from ucbarpa.

However, when I attempted to send something to chinet.chi.il.us,
it got bounced back from sendmail with a 'host unknown' error message.

Is there anything I need to do so that sendmail and/or bind
can look up mx records for the US domain.  Or have the sites
in that domain not properly registered yet??

BTW, I ran sendmail with the -bt option and found that mail is sent
to US domain sites the same way as the usual COM or EDU sites.

Thanks.
