Electronic mail, telex, and fax http://home.eunet.no/~presno/bok/7.html<br />

To send from the Internet to a mailbox I once had on a Norwegian X.400 host<br />

(Telemax), I had to use this address:<br />

/I=D/G=ODD/S=PRESNO/O=KUD.DATASEKR/@PCMAX.telemax.no<br />

To send from the Internet to Telemail in the US, I have used this (on one long line):<br />

/PN=TELEMAIL.T.SUPPORT/O=TELENET.MAIL/ADMD<br />

=TELEMAIL/C=US/@sprint.com<br />

If you must route your message through gateways, complexity increases. One<br />

Norwegian UUCP user had to use the following address to get through to me (on one<br />

long line):<br />

nuug!extern.uio.no!"pcmax.telemax.no!<br />

/I=D/G=ODD/S=PRESNO/O=KUD.DATASEKR/"<br />

To send from an X.400 system to my CompuServe mailbox, I have used the following<br />

address elements:<br />

Country = US<br />

ADMD = CompuServe<br />

PRMD = CSMail<br />

DDA = 75755.1327<br />

<strong>The</strong> addressing methods used on X.400 systems vary. Example: Some use the code<br />

C:USA rather than the ISO country code C:US. MCI Mail uses C:NORWAY, C:USA,<br />

and C:SWEDEN.<br />

Some important X.400 codes:<br />

C WKH ,62 FRXQWU\ FRGH RQ PRVW VHUYLFHV<br />

ADMD domain code for public system (abbreviation A)<br />

PRMD domain code for connected private system (abbreviation P)<br />

O organization name<br />

OU organization unit<br />

S surname (last name)<br />

G given name (first name)<br />

I initials (in the name)<br />

DDA domain defined attributes, keywords defined and used by the individual<br />

systems to specify mailboxes (user name, list, station, user code, etc.), direct<br />

delivery devices (attention name, telex addresses, facsimile, etc.)<br />

PN personal name<br />

(a) the character @ cannot be used when routing messages<br />

from X.400 to Internet. Try (a) instead.<br />

(p) the character % cannot be used when routing messages<br />

from X.400 to Internet. Try (p) instead.<br />

(b) the character ! (used in "bang" addresses).<br />

(q) the character " used in email addresses.<br />

RFC 822 this code tells X.400 that an Internet domain address follows. Does not work<br />

on all X.400 systems. (See http://info.internet.isi.edu/in notes/rfc/files<br />

/rfc822.txt)<br />

<strong>The</strong> space character (ascii 032) is a special challenge. Some services let you replace it<br />

with an '_' character. If the X.400 gateway supports MIME, you may use the<br />

hexadecimal code (=20) as specified in RFC1341 (see "quoted printable"). If you do,<br />

remember to replace the '=' character with =3D, as in '/S=3DPRESNO' (instead of<br />

'/S=PRESNO').<br />

Addressing mail from the Internet to/from X.400 is difficult, unless the mailer<br />

header of a received message gives the senders address in the proper addressing format.<br />

To set up an email link between an Internet and an X.400 mailbox, start by trying<br />
