[news.admin] query, access to commercial E-mail services

jc@piaget.UUCP (05/02/87)

I have a desire to send/receive mail to/from several commercial
mail services.  In particular I would like to correspond with
logins on Source, Compuserve, and EIES.  Does anyone know of
gateways to these services?

The Source and CompuServe have (as is their right) chosen not to
communicate with "us here in the outside world", which is to say, you
can't get there from here automatically. Perhaps if those of us on the
outside put enough pressure on them, they'll interconnect with us, but
somehow, I doubt it, given that they'd have to figure out how to charge
for it.

EIES is (was?) on MAILNET, but I heard that network went away last
december. You can try to get to them at

	user%njit-eies.mailnet@mit-multics.arpa

if you have an ARPANET gateway nearby.
