Well, you could try writing to postmaster@inra.fr and @geocub.greco-prog.fr,
both of which, according to name server records, are likely to support
email.  But the ones you have probably work.  Just that all France goes
on vacation in August.

Other possibilities might be

However, you might have to reconcile yourself to the possibility that
computer accounts might only be issued to persons who have valid need.
