- There are many ways in which X.400 and Internet (STD 11, RFC 822) mail
- systems can be interconnected. Addresses and service elements can be
- mapped onto each other in different ways. From the early available
- gateway implementations, one was not necessarily better than another,
- but the sole fact that each handled the mappings in a different way
- led to major interworking problems, especially when a message (or
- address) crossed more than one gateway. The need for one global
- standard on how to implement X.400 - Internet mail gatewaying was
- satisfied by the Internet Request For Comments 1327, titled "Mapping
- between X.400(1988)/ISO 10021 and RFC 822." This tutorial was
- produced especially to help new gateway managers find their way into
- the complicated subject of mail gatewaying according to RFC 1327.
