In ruleset 0, in the section commented "handle special cases", add the
following line:

R$*<@$+.BITNET>$*	$#tcp$@cunyvm.cuny.edu$:$1<@$2.BITNET>$3	route bitnet

Make sure you make the white space tabs, not spaces.  You can use some
other host in place of cunyvm.cuny.edu if you'd rather, as well as
some other mailer in case you don't use the "tcp" mailer.  I've
included a copy of the relevant part of DEC's sendmail.cf below in
case you have trouble finding it.
