- Not quite, you send it to <user>@genie.geis.com. For example, I am
- MIKE.NOLAN@GEnie.geis.com.
-
- All of the tests I have tried have produced a bounce message when the message
- cannot be delivered on GEnie. A _cryptic_ bounce message, but better than
- nothing. (The GEnie member is not notified of the attempt.)
-
- There have been some occasional problems with routing to or from GEnie's
- Internet forwarder, and GEnie's internal e-mail system has a 35 character
- address limit which applies to Internet mail as well. (This is being worked
- on, but no estimate of when this will be changed has been announced.)
-
- The cost structure for GEnie members in the USA is as follows:
- A one-time $2 signup fee.
- Each message sent or received is 30 cents per 5K of characters, including
- headers, or fraction thereof. (ie, a 1K message costs 30 cents, an 8K
- message costs 60 cents, etc.)
-
- The Internet Gateway is also available to GEnie members in Canada, but
- the fees are different and are in Canadian dollars. ($3.00 and 40 cents)
-
- According to GEnie administration, the Internet Gateway is still in 'open
- beta test', and the cost structure given above is subject to revision.
