It is a Telecom Gold mailbox, which you can now reach from the Internet.
You should send the message to

	10087.sqq1328@gateway-to-gold.interspan.gb

The first 5 digits are the full domain and system number, which is then
followed by a period and the user id. A virtual mailbox at Telecom Gold
gets created when you send your message, which allows the user to reply.
