| I'd send mail to the MCI address in this form: John Doe/123-4567@mcimail.com.

So send it to 1234567@mcimail.com and leave the name off.  There can be many
John Does but only one 1234567, so the name is extraneous.  Moreover, spaces
and slashes in the local part of an address are rather non-standard and might
be spooking your own mailer.

| Does anyone have an 800 number for MCI mail customer service?

1 800 444 6245, but I don't know if they'll assist a non-customer.  You may
have to get a friend who has an account there to place the call for you.  He
or she can also send email within MCI Mail to "mci help".

Now that their Internet gateway is out of testing and is a fully supported
official service, they should have some answers.
