- Help,
-
- I have been trying to establish 2-way e-mail with a company in the UK
- whereby they use Telecom Gold (TG) and I use the Internet only.
-
- I have been using Starnet but it is proving too costly! Via Starnet I would
- address the company as "10084:MAG31653" (quotes excluded). I have since been
- able to send (but not receive!) e-mail via Internet if I use the address
- "10084.mag31653@gateway-to-gold.interspan.gb". On first using this address I
- received e-mail saying a dummy TG mailbox had been created for me, but the
- company in the UK has had no success in replying to this mailbox!
-
- Has anyone else tried using this 'gateway-to-gold' with success? Are there
- other gateways that possibly bypass the messy business of requiring a 'dummy'
- TG mailbox ID? *Any* help appreciated.
-
- Cheers, Sean.
