- Waffle already supports mail to x.400 addresses. For example, mail to
-
- /S=dawson/G=w/C=us/O=bsan/ADMD=bellsouth/@sprint.com
-
- is delivered just as you'd expect it to be.
-
- There's more to making x.400 mail work than simply setting up a Waffle link
- to the Internet. You must have a clear path to the gateway system, e.g.,
- sprint.com. If a system between your site and your nearest Internet hub
- decides to munge your email headers, you may get a bounce back, probably
- with a file permission error, or possibly with an "execute permission denied"
- error. This is not Waffle's fault, but is rather the result of some rather
- boneheaded software upstream side. I believe some versions of smail choke
- on x.400 addresses.
