These TELENET hosts (domains) are accessible through the Commercial Mail
Relay. I think that all of them use "/USA" ("mail/usa" is the only complete
host name in the list).
The general syntax is:
[user/organization]host/country%TELEMAIL@Intermail.ISI.EDU
NASA Ames also runs an Internet to TELEMAIL link (well, last I checked they
did). Theirs is more specific to NASA aims, e.g. users can register and have
their mail sent and received for them.
NASA is also MX'ed in the Internet. Below is a message I saved from
Info-Nets:

There are several nodes on the internet that are also part of SPAN.
These are fully documented in file available from Goddard Space Flight
Center. Information can be gotten from NETMGR@NSSDCA.GSFC.NASA.GOV.
Reference the "Instructions for Sending Internet Mail". The above
address is for the SPAN Network Information Center. All SPAN inquiries
should be directed at the NSSDC (Nat'l. Space Science Data Center).
The following table is an incomplete listing of computers capable of
routing mail between the Internet and SPAN:
Internet Gateway SPAN-Gateway Other Network

HAMLET.CALTECH.EDU HAMLET:: HAMLET (Bitnet)
IO.ARC.NASA.GOV (?) IO::
In General, the syntax for sending mail from Internet-->SPAN is the following:
To: User%<SpanNode>.SPAN@<Internet-Gateway-Node>
And from Span-->Internet, the following works:
To: <Span-Gateway>::"User@Host.Domain"
(Note the use of the double-quotes in the address)
