Here's my experience sending from the UK to IBM users in the UK (via the
US - sigh).

Something like JCITIZEN@MACHINE.vnet.ibm.com will probably be the correct
address. However, for reasons best known to the administrative bureaucracy
at IBM, it appears that IBM users have to register to use the Internet gateway.
If you mail to an unregistered user, it will bounce and look like an invalid
address. I have found the IBM Postmaster exceptionally helpful in sorting this
out.
