SUMMARY
Version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 implements a new program to help with the administration tasks of the gateway. This article defines the X.400 Profile for the Local MTA.
MORE INFORMATION
The X.400 Profile screen has 6 areas:
- Application Protocol
- Profile
- Message Timeout
- Address Rendering
- Disclose Recipients
- IA5 Translation Tables
- Application Protocol
Either 1 (for the X.400 P1 protocol defined by CCITT), or 8883 (for the MOTIS P1 protocol with some variations defined by ISO). The latter is seldom used. This field sets the applicationProtocol value in the PConnect data element for establishing an outgoing RTS connection. - Profile
Either NIST (functional profile specified by NIST agreement) or A311 (functional profile specified by EWOS/ETSI agreement). Profile determines how the Teletext bodypart is encoded. Selecting A311, sets pageFormats in the TeletextNonBasicParams field to the hexadecimal value 01. Selecting NIST leaves pageFormats at the default value. Message Timeout
The maximum length of time a message waits at the gateway to be delivered. If the message has not been transmitted by the end of the timeout period, a nondelivery report is sent to the originator. Message timeouts can be set for normal, nonurgent and urgent messages. The maximum value that you can define is 99 hours:59 minutes. To configure messages to remain in the delivery queue indefinitely until they are delivered, set the timeout period to zero.
Here are the default message timeout periods:Microsoft Mail X.400 Mail Default timeout --------------------------------------------------------------------- priority priority period Normal Normal 24 hours Low Non-urgent 36 hours High Urgent 45 minutesWhen the gateway restarts, all messages currently waiting in the delivery queue are assigned a normal priority, even if their originator specified low or high priority.
Address Rendering
Here are the address rendering options for X.400 addresses in the Microsoft Mail message From, To, and Cc fields in inbound mail.To Select Print the personal name attributes Normal only (surname, given name, initials, generation qualifier). Print the X.400 addresses in Verbose expanded format. Print the personal name attributes Reverse only in the following reverse sequence: given name, initials, surname, generation qualifier.
Disclose Recipients
Here are the X.400 message options you can select.To Use this option --------------------------------------------------------------------- Indicate to the receiving Disclose Recipients X.400 MTA that the O/R names of all recipients be disclosed. Prevent the X.400 recipient MTA Conversion Prohibited from converting an attachment to a different format. Indicate to the receiving X.400 Alternate Recipient MTA that the message be delivered Allowed to an alternate recipient, if the intended recipient is not available. Indicate to the receiving X.400 Content Return MTA that the message contents be included in the nondelivery report, if the X.400 recipient does not exist. Include the in-reply-to header Include In-reply-to in an outbound reply to an inbound Header message from an X.400 system. The original message must have been copied into the reply.- IA5 Translation Tables.
If you communicate with an X.400 MTA that uses a different character set from your local MTA, you need access to IA5 translation tables. The gateway provides tables for German, IRV (International Reference Version), Norwegian, and Swedish. You can specify one table for inbound mail and one table for outbound mail. With both inbound and outbound mail, if you do not specify a translation table, the gateway converts each noncompliant character to a question mark.
