- Just put the user name as used on GEnie. Send to domain (hope I
- remember this right) genie.geis.com. Their nameserver will figure out
- how to get it to him. Note that the user must have set up to receive
- external mail. I think they charge extra for this.

- absolutely positive about that geis part, but pretty sure.
