I finally ran configure.com the other day and merged it's pmdf.cnf and my
old pmdf.cnf file.  So far so good.  Since configure.com also creates
BITNET_DOMAINS_DRIVER.COM I ran this instead of BITNET_DOMAINS.COM directly.
Now when I look at the GATES.RULES file it doesn't look correct.  The following
is a segment of the file: 
AEARN                            $U%$H.BITNET

As you can see it has multiple entries for each node.  Could I have answered one
of the questions from configure.com that incorrectly that it could cause this
problem.  When I do a pmdf test/rewrite/noimage I get the following:

$ pmdf test/rewrite/noimage

)
  envelope From: address = k%alaska.BITNET@ubvms.cc.buffalo.edu
  name                   =
  mbox                   = k%alaska.BITNET
Extracted address action list:
    k@alaska
Extracted 733 address action list:
    k@alaska
Expanded address:
  k@alaska.BITNET
Submitted address list:
  bit_mailer
    k@alaska.BITNET (alaska.BITNET)

As you can see it is trying to use the local channel to send to this node.

Any help would be appreciated,
