Yup. It's already passing close to 300 messages/day. 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-) [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. --Karl Kleinpaste Personification of the Mailer Daemon Ohio State Computer Science Instigator of the Internet/CompuServe mail gateway
