This question is asked on behalf of a partner:
In MAILbus 400 MTA and SMTP Gateway it is possible to define a SMTP
gateway OR address of C=xx; A=Internet and to use this togther with
DD.rfc-822=x(a)y.z
DEC MAILworks and ISOCOR Gateways seems to accept the above, but there
are products which don't
After reading the X.400 blue book the following question arises?
What is correct, accept an address of "C=cc;A=Internet;[email protected]"
or not. It works fine in most cases. Blue book X.402 section 18.5.1
(Mnemonic O/R address) states Quoted from rec.
"an O/R address comprises of the following attributes:
a) one country and admd, which toghether identify an ADMD
b) one private-domain-name, one organization-name, one
organizational-unit-name, one personal-name or common-name
or a combination of the above; and optionally one or more
domain defined attributes; which together identify user/dl
relative to ADMD spec. in a)
"
Is it correct to interpret the X.402 text as the address with C+A+DDA
is not valid ??

A domain-defined-attribute should, literally, be well-defined thoughout the domain. But an ADMD too broad a domain for this definition: you need one of P,O,OU, PN or CN in addition to the DDA. The SMTP Gateway does not do much grammar checking of the addresses it looks up in X.500, or algorithmically processes, being generous about what it receives and strict about what it emits. +Mark+ | |||||
