Interesting, I guess its true bout compuserve setting up a
mail gateway to/from internet (Bout time). I assume its
userid@compuserve.com in, but how does one get out? I used
to have an account, but didnt do anything for me, few years
back. Just tried with someone who has an active acct, but
it wouldnt let do it, and its too new to be in the book.
anyone have the syntax to send mail to user@domain from
compuserve? I ASSUME ofcourse, that the originator will
be billed for this benefit. 8-)
Tnx in advance, johnd

Yup. It's already passing close to 300 messages/day.

[canned response #3267: "How to reach
people inside CompuServe via email"...]
CompuServe subscriber accounts, being numeric of the form "7xxxx,yyy,"
can be reached via email by addressing the mail to
7xxxx.yyy@compuserve.com
Note the trading of `.' where `,' would have been. This keeps the
syntax conformant with the relevant Internet RFCs.
CompuServe employees are (in general) reachable under the
csi.compuserve.com subdomain; thus, address such mail to
username@csi.compuserve.com
CompuServe subscribers reach people Out Here using a person's normal
address prefixed with ">internet:". This prefix is CompuServe's
generalized gateway access syntax, and does not appear in headers on
the Internet side of the gateway. Some additional information
regarding addressing sites Out Here can be obtained via "help
internet" in their mailer.
There is no charge to anyone for use of this gateway. CompuServe
subscribers are still billed their usual hourly rate for connect time,
but there is no gateway-specific surcharge.
