- The usage of the X.400 Message Handling System (MHS) is growing
- rapidly, especially in the commercial world but much interest can also
- be found in the academic and research community. New networks and new
- addresses come into use each and every day. The underlying technology
- for different X.400 networks can vary depending on the transport
- network and the X.400 MHS implementations used. As a large number of
- X.400 implementations now support multiple stacks, this offers the
- chance of implementing a world wide message handling service using the
- same electronic mail standard and, therefore, without the need of
- gateways with service reduction and without the restriction to a
- single common transport network. This, however, leads to several
- problems for the MHS manager, two of which are:
-
- - Where do I route new X.400 addresses and
-
- - How do I connect to a MHS domain that uses an underlying
- technology that I do not support.
-
- This document proposes short term solutions to these problems.
-
- This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet
- community. Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested.
