I moderate a list which has members from several commercial services. One
member on CompuServe discovered that she was missing half the discussion
on a topic. It became apparent after questioning that CompuServe blocks
mail exchange with competing services (such as MCIMail) unless the
CompuServe subscriber is willing to pay $1 per message to send (and I
assume an another surcharge to receive).
We are currently running on a VAX Mailserv, but are switching to a UNIX
box. Any workarounds? Is this common?

I'm confused. If your list originates from Internet as indicated by
your list owner address, then I don't see where the MCIMail to CIS
link occurs. If you're saying that a list subscriber on MCIMail is
unable to send a message to your Internet list and CIS refuses it,
then I'm truely astounded as that means CIS is scanning the mail
content to figure out where the (now processed through Internet)
message originated.
I have two lists that deal with both MCI and CIS. So far the only two
restrictions I've encountered are a) CIS refuses to confirm who owns
an address (e.g., who owns 12345,678) and b) any message 50BK or
greater is blocked unless the subscriber pays a surcharge. Otherwise,
I have no problems with mailing to MCI or CIS and this is something I
do daily.
