Try this:
Proper syntax to send email to Fidonet from Internet is:
  firstname.lastname@p#.f#.n#.z#.fidonet.org
To send mail to a FidoNet user, you not only need the name, but the
exact FidoNet address s/he uses. FidoNet addresses are broken down into
zones, net, nodes, and (optionally) points.  For example, the address of
one Fido BBS is "1:102/834". The zone is 1, the net is 102, the node is
834. A user's address could include a point as well: "1:102/834.1" - the
final 1 is the point. So, to send mail to "John Smith" at Fido address
"1:102/834", e-mail to "firstname.lastname@f834.n102.z1.fidonet.org.  To
send mail to that user at Fido address "1:102/834.1", e-mail to
"firstname.lastname@p1.f834.n102.z1.fidonet.org".
