He's mistaken.  There is an official gateway from EARN/Internet to IBMMail.
There has been extensive discussion of this within the past week on X400-L.
If an internet person knows the registered x.400 address (each IBMer must have
an IEA (inter enterprose address) and a set of x.400 attributes, then you can
basically send from internet/EARN to

    GIVENNAME.SURNAME@ibmx400-COUNTRY.ibmmail.circe.fr

COUNTRY is the country code of the ibmer, surname is normally the last name of
the person, and givenname is a name given by mother blue which is something
like the first chars of the last name followed by the initials but never longer
than 7 chars.

Read the documentation from NETSERV, i.e., the file IBMMAIL DESCRIPT, to find
out how he registers to obtain an IEA.
