These sort of questions have repeatedly popped up in comp.mail.misc.
John Chew, U. of Toronto, collected answers and posted them there.
Here is the most recent update I got from him.  He's planning to post
this on a monthly basis to comp.mail.misc and news.newusers.questions.

# This file documents methods of sending mail from one network to another.
# It is maintained by John J. Chew <poslfit@gpu.UTCS.UToronto.CA>, and is 
# posted monthly to comp.mail.misc and news.newusers.questions.  Please 
# send any corrections or additions to the above address.
#
# Each entry in this file describes how to get from one network to
# another.  To keep this file at a reasonable size, methods that can
# be generated by transitivity (A->B and B->C gives A->B->C) are omitted.
# Entries are sorted first by source network and then by destination
# network, and a typical entry looks like:
#
#   #F mynet
#   #T yournet
#   #R youraddress
#   #I send to "youraddress@thegateway"
#
# #F (from) and #T (to) lines specify source and destination networks.
# These are currently one of:
#
#   applelink     Apple Computer, Inc.'s in-house network
#   att           AT&T's in-house network
#   bitnet        international academic network
#   compuserve    commercial time-sharing service
#   fidonet       PC-based BBS network
#   internet      the Internet
#   mci           MCI's commercial electronic mail service
#   span          Space Physics Analysis Network
#
# #R (recipient) gives an example of an address on the destination network, 
# to make it clear in subsequent lines what text requires subsitution.
#
# #I (instructions) lines, of which there may be several, give verbal
# instructions to a user of the source network to let them send mail
# to a user on the destination network.  Text that needs to be typed
# will appear in double quotes, with C-style escapes if necessary.
