	Yes, that is a bit unexpected..

	".BITNET", and think ".UUCP" -pseudo-domains are treated
	specially.

	In my  /etc/mail.conf  I have these:

	# rrouter.cf uses these..
	: ${BITNETACTION:="smtp fiport.funet.fi"}
	: ${UUCPACTION:="smtp mail.eunet.fi"}

	... though  nic.funet.fi  is also FINFILES.BITNET, AND
	does full BITNET routing, thus the "BITNETACTION" will
	not be used.

	In the missing documentation...
