2277.0. "X400 addressing" by BERN01::MAURERF (Isn't your mouse looking for cheese?) Wed Feb 17 1993 08:29

    Hi all,
    
    I have a customer who wants to send a X400 mail were both, surname and
    forename contains 2 strings separated with blanks. Now the
    problem is that somewere (in UA or MR), the first string will be
    interpreted as the forename and the next three will be part of the
    surname.
    
    Can this behaviour being changed or customized?
    
    Thanks for any answer.

2277.3X400 FROM ALL-IN-1COL01::KLOCKEThu Feb 18 1993 09:3412
In the VAX Message Router X.400 Gateway User's Guide on page 2-4 it is
described that a Given_name has a maximum length of 16 characters and can
include spaces. A surname can have a maximum length of 40 characters and cannot
contain spaces. Surname and givenname can be separated by a punctation mark,
or by a space. 

So you should try to use the punctation mark to seperate given- and surnames
which include spaces.

I hope this information will help you

2277.4MRX does the workFORTY2::ASHGrahame Ash @REOThu Feb 18 1993 13:5510
and just to fill in the rest of the answer . . .  assuming you're using the 
X400 form from ALL-IN-1, then the name field is used at the front of the 
address, so you'll create a message addressed to something like:

	Grahame John Ash Surname 2 @1= etc. @MRX

So MRX will be force to sort out your name and divide it into Given Name and 
Surname - see the MRX documentation for its rules.

2277.5Maybe this would do...COPCLU::COPSPD::GLARGAARDAllan Glargaard, DS @DMOFri Feb 19 1993 14:3727
  MRX could either interpret a name like Dee Daa Dah as 
  /GIVEN="Dee Daa"/SUR="Dah" or as /GIVEN="Dee"/SUR="Daa Dah",
  depending of a logical name whose name I don't remember now. But
  that will only ensure that all addresses originating at your end
  will follow the same rule.

  What really matters is how the recipient expects the names to be
  defined, and if you know that, you can force MRX to follow that rule
  by entering the following address at the TO: prompt:

  _MRGATE::X400::1=DK::2=DK400::3=DIGITAL::7=""Allan""::6=""Glargaard""

  Note: double quotes are used because ALL-IN-1 will steal away one of
  them, thus ""Allan"" becomes "Allan" in the internal address, which
  should be OK.

  Try the above address and see if you can get a mail through to me.

  An example with multiple surnames and givennames:
  _MRGATE::X400::1=DK::2=DK400::3=DIGITAL::7=""Allan van""::6=""Glargaard Doe""

  Replace X400 in the above examples with the name of your local X.400
  mailbox.

  Best regards,
  Allan who_might_have_got_it_all_wrong :-)
2277.6How to address?BERN01::MAURERFIsn't your mouse looking for cheese?Wed Apr 28 1993 16:2920
    I still requires some more support on X400 addressing. In my case, I
    want to use a remote X400 mailbox called ARCOM on node GRDKOM. So if
    I follow the synthax from Allan, this would looks like that:
    
    _GRDKOM::MRGATE::ARCOM::1=CH::2=ARCOM::3=DIGITAL::7=""first name""
    ::6=""etc ...""
    
    But up to now I were not able to send the mail, even when using
    ::MRGATE::"..." (double quotes), which is required I supose. This was
    maybe due to quotes conflicts.
    
    And how should the address looks like when  using "@" synthax:
    
    @1=CH@2=ARCOM@3=DIGITAL@@7="first name"@6="etc ..."@ARCOM@GRDKOM@MRGATE
    
    Is the MRGATE required at all in the last example?
    
    Thanks in advance for any help.
