How does your system route mail to bitnet? If you're not directly connected,
then it must be via a gateway. Did you try asking the gateway operator?
Bitnet *is* going away in the near future. Cornell, for example, is shooting
for a September 1 disconnect.

Not necessarily, but if they want to stay connected they will soon.

Apparently vm.uoguelph.ca is the gateway you've been using and it's stopped
working. Ask them if it's permanent or accidental. If permanent you need
to move to a different gateway.
