The way I seem to recall it, the person working at IBM needs to get
some sort of permission prior to sending out mail.  IBM.COM is possibly
a gateway machine. As IBM uses bitnet mostly whatever works for other
bitnet sites should also work. If you check sites garp.mit.edu and 
ngp.texas.edu, they have the netdir and bitnet files (compressed form),
these contain a listing of many sites you may be looking for. Usually the
best way if for your friends at IBM to figure out what is their host name
and the best route to them from their local postmaster.

Cheers!
