   I'm interested in additional e-mail facilities. If you have an 
   opinion on Sprint Mail I'd appreciate it. Does it require X400, 
   or 822? Or a custom package?

Sprint.com is directly accessible on the Internet [35.1.1.62] and
accepts RFC822 syntax for some destinations; this includes an ability
to accept an encoding of X.400 addresses in the <local-part>, e.g., a
log entry for some mail that recently flowed through here was (with
names changed to protect the guilty):
	/pn=first.lastname/o=some-org-name/admd=telemail/c=us/@sprint.com
and from all appearances, it works just fine.
