This is not really appropriate to this group, but I am postings so we don't
have more "me too".  It is indeed possible, but the gateway between
Bitnet/Internet to the Internal IBM network is smart and requires a specific
"connection" to be authorized.  This requires the recepient to request, thru
normal IBM channels that they be authorized to receive mail from a specific
address.  This authorization, as I understand it, needs to be renewed from
time to time.
