2201.0. "X.400 mail support for AIX" by ATZIS3::atzpc2.aui.dec.com::HUSCHKA_A (SIB-OFFICE) Thu Apr 17 1997 11:15

Hi,

we need to set up an AIX based LNX system for X.400 mail support.
The MTA is running on an OSF/1 system.

The documentation says that the Mailbus 400 Base subset has to
be installed on the AIX server. 

I asked one of our Mailbus people and he told me that he is not
aware of that product for AIX.

So can you tell me what additional software is needed for X.400 
mail
support on AIX.


regards

Andreas Huschka

This must have been copied from the Digital UNIX documentation.  It cannot be 
true for AIX.  You need to go through some steps yourself on the AIX server:

o create file /var/mta/mta_api_server_address with first line

  TCP	MTA_machine_name	(WITHOUT domain name)

o add line in /etc/services as follows

  mta_api_server	200/tcp		# MAILbus 400 MTA

o check that you have a kernel with TCP/IP and streams.

These steps are taken care off by the BASE subset of the MTA on Digital UNIX.
Next to that, it installs the XAPI shared library.  You don't need that one 
on the AIX server (the LinkWorks external mail components include this logic 
in their executables).

Good luck, Berd Schimmel
