Shouldn't that be
rsync -avz /home/mit/oldmail/ 192.168.1.76:/home/mit/oldmail/
if you're trying to send to .76 ?
Also note that the trailing slashes are significant, depending on
whether you want to send the directory, or just the contents of the
directory -- see the man page because I'll get it wrong if I try to
explain it.
