You might be interested in what was possibly the most helpful document
for us on JANET back in the days, to send email out to various networks.
We had to go through several hacks to route messages in & out.
ftp://ftp.warwick.ac.uk/pub/papers/mail-gateways.7.txt

Routing arrangements were even more obscure especially when trying to
reach things "outside" the usual TCP/IP space. Depending on who was
paying for what, you'd get bounced around/blacklisted or whatever...
Kindest regards,

Olivier
