In MY EXPERIENCE, user%site.cdn@relay.cs.net will work (relay.cs.net is now the official name of machine csnet-relay) relay.cs.net then kicks messages to whoever the official EAN gateway is. Can MX records be used to redirect all arpa mail to a top level domain site through the appropriate gateway (I hope so...)? If so, has this been done for .cdn and the other national organizations (.uk, .chunet, ...)

This got bit-bucketed by ubc-ean's inews, so here's a repost:
=====
In article <2359@dalcs.UUCP> lane@dalcs.UUCP (John Wright) writes
[various things about EAN, UBC, and Sydney Development Corporation, mostly
gleaned from the EAN directory service.]
Let me clarify things a bit. EAN originated at UBC and is being jointly
developed by UBC's EAN R&D Group, CDNnet (the Canadian EAN network), and
Sydney Development Corporation. Sydney has the commercial rights to EAN.
EAN is an X.400 implementation for BSD, SysV, VMS, VM/CMS, Guardian, and
other OSs. It has been used internationally as the basis for several research
networks. Since the original articles in this discussion were asking about
X.400/ARPA gateways and RFC987 in particular, I should mention that the
BSD version of EAN supports an RFC822 gateway, but it is not completely
RFC987 compatable, since it predates that standard by a couple of years.
If you are interested, there are a couple of people you could contact,
depending on who you are. People looking to use EAN for commercial
purposes should contact one of Sydney's sales people at the address below.
Universities should contact CDNnet Headquarters:
Address:
CDNnet Headquarters
Computing Centre
University of British Columbia
Vancouver, BC
CANADA V6T 1W5
Phone: (604) 228-6537
Mail: cdnnet-hq@ean.ubc.cdn
or ean-help@ean.ubc.cdn for technical questions.

Sydney's X.400 salespeople are
Bob Bostrom <bob@sydney.cdn> (contact for Canada and overseas (either sea!))
and Bob Mealey <bmea@sydney.cdn> (contact for the U.S.A.)
Address:
Sydney Development Corp.
600-1385 West 8th Ave.
Vancouver, BC
CANADA V6H 3V9
Phone: (604) 734-8822
Note that {garfield,ubc-vision,watmath}!site.cdn!user should work
for getting from uucp to CDNnet. From ARPAnet, user%site.cdn@relay.cs.net
works.
