The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400, version 3.2 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

Version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 implements a new program to help
with the administration tasks of the gateway. This article defines the X.400
Profile for the Local MTA.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The X.400 Profile screen has 6 areas:

1. Application Protocol

2. Profile

3. Message Timeout

4. Address Rendering

5. Disclose Recipients

6. IA5 Translation Tables

 - Application Protocol

   Either 1 (for the X.400 P1 protocol defined by CCITT), or 8883 (for the MOTIS
   P1 protocol with some variations defined by ISO). The latter is seldom used.
   This field sets the applicationProtocol value in the PConnect data element
   for establishing an outgoing RTS connection.

 - Profile

   Either NIST (functional profile specified by NIST agreement) or A311
   (functional profile specified by EWOS/ETSI agreement). Profile determines how
   the Teletext bodypart is encoded. Selecting A311, sets pageFormats in the
   TeletextNonBasicParams field to the hexadecimal value 01. Selecting NIST
   leaves pageFormats at the default value.

 - Message Timeout

   The maximum length of time a message waits at the gateway to be delivered. If
   the message has not been transmitted by the end of the timeout period, a
   nondelivery report is sent to the originator. Message timeouts can be set for
   normal, nonurgent and urgent messages. The maximum value that you can define
   is 99 hours:59 minutes. To configure messages to remain in the delivery queue
   indefinitely until they are delivered, set the timeout period to zero.

   Here are the default message timeout periods:

   Microsoft Mail         X.400 Mail          Default timeout 
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------
   priority               priority            period
   Normal                 Normal              24 hours
   Low                    Non-urgent          36 hours
   High                   Urgent              45 minutes

   When the gateway restarts, all messages currently waiting in the delivery
   queue are assigned a normal priority, even if their originator specified low
   or high priority.

 - Address Rendering

   Here are the address rendering options for X.400 addresses in the Microsoft
   Mail message From, To, and Cc fields in inbound mail.

   To                                         Select
   Print the personal name attributes         Normal
   only (surname, given name, initials,
   generation qualifier).
   Print the X.400 addresses in               Verbose
   expanded format.
   Print the personal name attributes         Reverse
   only in the following reverse
   sequence: given name, initials,
   surname, generation qualifier.

 - Disclose Recipients

   Here are the X.400 message options you can select.

   To                                         Use this option 
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------

   Indicate to the receiving                  Disclose Recipients
   X.400 MTA that the O/R names
   of all recipients be disclosed.
 
   Prevent the X.400 recipient MTA            Conversion Prohibited
   from converting an attachment to
   a different format.
 
   Indicate to the receiving X.400            Alternate Recipient
   MTA that the message be delivered          Allowed
   to an alternate recipient, if the
   intended recipient is not
   available.
 
   Indicate to the receiving X.400            Content Return
   MTA that the message contents be
   included in the nondelivery report,
   if the X.400 recipient does not
   exist.
 
   Include the in-reply-to header             Include In-reply-to
   in an outbound reply to an inbound         Header
   message from an X.400 system. The
   original message must have been
   copied into the reply.

 - IA5 Translation Tables.

   If you communicate with an X.400 MTA that uses a different character set from
   your local MTA, you need access to IA5 translation tables. The gateway
   provides tables for German, IRV (International Reference Version), Norwegian,
   and Swedish. You can specify one table for inbound mail and one table for
   outbound mail. With both inbound and outbound mail, if you do not specify a
   translation table, the gateway converts each noncompliant character to a
   question mark.
