That compuserve.com address will cause problems for mailers which can not
resolve MX records - spent a bit of time fighting with such a relic over at
BU. 

If your mailer does not recognize compuserve.com, try routing via
saqqara.cis.ohio-state.edu.  Ask someone local about how to do this - if
your mailer can't cope with MXs, it's messed enough to be strange.  (A good
first guess would be nnnnn.nnnn%compuserve.com@saqqara.cis.ohio-state.edu)
