Advantis
CompuServe Mail allows you to exchange messages with Advantis'
electronic mail system via an X.400 interconnection. Advantis
operates a messaging and data network made up of services that were
formerly operated by the IBM Information Network and the Sears
Communications Company. The Advantis electronic mail service is
known as IBM Mail Exchange.
SENDING TO ADVANTIS
Proper addressing is mandatory to ensure mail delivery to Advantis
from CompuServe Mail. To send a message to an IBM Mail Exchange
recipient, use the following format:
X400:(c=us;a=ibmx400;p=ibmmail;s=SURNAME;g=GIVEN NAME)
For example, if an IBM Mail Exchange user told you their address was
"PRMD of IBMMAIL, Surname of SMITH and Given Name of JOHN", you would
enter the following address in CompuServe Mail:
X400:(c=us;a=ibmx400;p=ibmmail;s=smith;g=john)
NOTE: "X400:" must always precede the address, the address must be
enclosed in parentheses, and the elements must be separated by
semi-colons.
RECEIVING MAIL FROM ADVANTIS
The address that you should give to a user of any mail system which
can route messages to CompuServe via an X400 interconnection is:
Country=us ADMD=CompuServe PRMD=csmail DDA Type=id DDA Value= Your
Mailbox
For Public CompuServe Mail users, the DDA value is equal to your user
ID with a period in place of the comma.
For Private CompuServe Mail system users, this is your address in the
form of EMI:MAILBOX, where EMI is the unique identifier assigned to
your organization's private CompuServe Mail system.
Advantis Mail Exchange users can also send messages to Novell Netware
MHS mailboxes via the CompuServe Mail Hub. The address that you
should give in order to be reached at a Netware MHS mailbox through
the CompuServe Mail Hub via X400 is:
Country=us ADMD=CompuServe PRMD=csmail DDA Type=id DDA
Value=mhs:username(a)workgroup
NOTE: The "@" symbol normally used in a NetWare MHS address must be
replaced by "(a)" when used in a X400 address.
NOTE: For Advantis' public mail service users, as well as some
private management domains, IBM Mail Exchange performs an "alias and
registration" function. This can occur in one of two ways. An IBM
Mail Exchange user can pre-register your CompuServe Mail address in
the IBM Mail Exchange directory, before receiving mail from you.
During this registration process, IBM Mail Exchange will assign an
alias (a numeric string) to your address. Alternatively, if a
CompuServe user sends mail to an IBM Mail Exchange recipient before
being registered, Advantis automatically performs the registration.
Either way, IBM Mail Exchange users must address messages with the
numeric string assigned to your CompuServe address.
