Mail to ...path...!psuvax1!username%nodename.BITNET or to
username%nodename.BITNET@psuvax1.UUCP if your mailer knows about domains.

Your correspondent should mail to username%nodename.UUCP@psuvax1.BITNET.
(psuvax1 uses pathalias to find your site.)  Your correspondent will have
to do some tricky footwork if his/her site is not running a mailer.  The
exact protocol it to put a message in a file, add RFC822 mail headers, wrap
the whole thing in a BSMTP (batch simple mail transfer protocol) envelope,
and send the resulting file to UUCP@PSUVAX1 on the BITNET, CLASS=M, PUNCH
format.  If your correspondent needs help with this, have him/her mail to
me direct at my BITNET address.

EARN is the European Academic and Research Network.  There is a hub in each
partipating country, and EEARN is the hub for Spain.  EARN, BITNET, and 
NETNORTH (Canada) are parts of a homogeneous network, so you needn't look for
a gateway to EARN from BITNET.  Once you reach the UUCP/BITNET gateway at
Penn State, your mail is within seconds of being delivered.
