ENVOYPost is not really based on X.400.
It is true, that ENVOY-100, one of the large Canadian public electronic
mail systems can be accessed using X.400, but it uses a Telemail~r
procedures internally and ENVOYPost was added before X.400.}i

 In general, ENVOY does not seem to be pushing X.400.

That being said, A very large Physical Delivery service based on
X.400 is scheduled to be launched early next year. This one will
be based on the CCITT 1988 X.400 and F.400 series and will allow
access from private X.400 systems.
