[comp.mail.sendmail] HELP sending mail to GEnie account.

markp@microsoft.UUCP (Mark PENNINGTON) (11/28/90)

Please excuse the obvious waste of bandwidth here.
 
I would like to send mail to a friend who has a GEnie account.
I have access to most mailing paths: uunet, etc.
Can anyone tell me how this may be done?  Of course, I do know their
GEmail address.
 
Thanks you,
 
Mark

Boy, am I gonna get flamed for that article.  I'm sorry, I was looking
through my .newsrc file to try to find the right newsgroup.  This one
sounded right.  From reading some of the earlier messages here, I can
see that I was wrong.
 
Sorry.

I do not think it is possible to send mail to GEnie accounts.  I have
an account on GEnie, and was imformed by GEnie customer Service that GEnie
was a "closed" sysytem and that I could not send mail through BITNET.
They indicated they felt this insured better security and privacy.
(I felt it indicated greater inconvenience)
