Wherefore art thou, Compuserve.com?

	As it was explained to me, the syntax for sending mail to a
Compu$erve subscriber from the Internet is:

	71735,1776 at compuserve.com	(My PPN, by the way)
             ^
	     Note "," instead of "."

	I suppose that 'wherever!compuserve!71735,1776' might work as
well for uucp routing.
	The problem with your example was:

	compuserve!mail 7XXXX.XXXX
	               ^     ^
		       |     A period -- sendmail tried to parse this as a
		       |      name or an Internet address, and failed
		       |
			A space -- not allowed

Cheers!
