[comp.mail.misc] Mail to Japan/Possible?

d623898w@edinboro.edu (03/01/90)

How would I go about sending mail to Japan? (If it is possible)
Tokyo to be exact.

I would appreciate any information on sending mail to other countries.

Thanx  Dan  AKA  Vaxian  (The CP/M guy)

That's a very general question, even when restricted to Tokyo. What
organization do you want to send mail to? There are numerous uucp nodes
in Japan (see the 'uumap' maps for Japan, available through anonymous
ftp from uunet.uu.net. There are also several internet hosts in the
'.jp' domain. To find out more, 'whois' the 'jp-dom' at sri-nic.arpa.
There is even one (at least) host in Japan that allows anonymous ftp.

Again, look that the uumaps for the countries they are available for,
and for the two-letter internet domain names (ISO two-letter country
codes). Besides, look at the Bitnet node list. Bitnet is available in
a number of countries. There are several other networks to foreign
countries, but you have to know first which organizations you want
to contact.
