- Description of Working Group:
-
- The MHS-DS Working Group works on issues relating to Message Handling
- Services use of Directory Services. The Message Handling Services are
- primarily X.400, but issues relating to RFC822 use of Directory and
- Directory support for RFC822 and X.400 interworking are in the scope of
- the Group. Directory and Directory Services refer to the services
- based upon the CCITT X.500 recommendations and additional ISO
- standards, stable implementation agreements, and RFCs, as specified by
- the OSI-DS Working Group. The major aims of the MHS-DS working group
- are:
-
- 1. Define a set of specifications to enable effective, large-scale
- deployment of X.400.
-
- 2. Study issues associated with supporting X.400 communities which lack
- access to X.500 Directory, and define requirements for tools which: a)
- extract information from the X.500 Directory for use by non-X.500
- applications, b) upload information into the X.500 Directory.
-
- 3. Coordinate a pilot project which deploys MHS information into the
- X.500 Directory and uses it to facilitate mail routing and address
- mapping. The results of this pilot will be documented, and experience
- gained from the project will be fed back into the Internet
- specifications created by the working group.
-
- Goals and Milestones:
-
- Ongoing Provide a forum to discuss Directory support of Message Handling
- Services including he operational aspects of X.500 based routing in
- the Internet community andissues of migration from non-X.500 to X.500
- based routing.
-
- Ongoing Establish and maintain liason relationships with similar groups
- working on X.400 and X.500, e.g. RRE Mail and Messaging Group, IETF
- OSI-DS Working Group, IETF X.400 Operations Working Group and the
- IETF MIME-MHS Working Group.
