- On our CD4000 system from Control Data we use the enhanced versions of mh and
- xmh. These programs UAs allow lookup of mail addresses in a X.500 directory and
- the specification of most of the X.400 attributes.
-
- But as far as I can see you can use X.400 addresses with every UA as long as
- as your sendmail is able to recognize the X.400 address and then forwards
- the mail to the next SMTP/X.400 gateway. That means you need additional rules
- in your sendmail.cf. Then you can use X.400 addresses like
-
- /g=michael/s=storz/ou=lrz/o=/prmd=lrz-muenchen/admd=dbp/c=de/
-
- Sendmail must use this as the local part of a RFC822 address and must append
- the domainname of the gateway to form a valid RFC822 address. The gateway will
- accept this local part as a valid X.400 address.
