Wherefore art thou, Compuserve.com?

As it was explained to me, the syntax for sending mail to a
Compu$erve subscriber from the Internet is:
71735,1776 at compuserve.com (My PPN, by the way)
^
Note "," instead of "."
I suppose that 'wherever!compuserve!71735,1776' might work as
well for uucp routing.
The problem with your example was:
compuserve!mail 7XXXX.XXXX
^ ^
| A period -- sendmail tried to parse this as a

A space -- not allowed
