DOCUMENT:Q134951 16-NOV-1999 [pcmail] TITLE :X400: Public X.25 Mail Services Can Route on PRMD PRODUCT :Microsoft Mail For PC Networks PROD/VER:MS-DOS:3.2 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400, version 3.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= Version 3.2 of the Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 supports X.25 the Eicon interface card for point to point communications on Transport Protocol class 0 (TP0). When you address another X.400 Message Transfer Agent (MTA) on a Public X.25 Mail Service, you define a remote MTA with a single X.121 address---the Public Mail Services. The distribution of the message is then routed to the destination X.121 address, based on the Private Domain Name (PRMD). MORE INFORMATION ================ Sprint Mail is an example of a public X.25 Mail Service provider that routes on PRMD. For this reason, it is mandatory that users include the PRMD attribute of an X.400 address. A correct routing table will ensure proper message routing to Sprint Mail. Here is a example of a typical outbound Sprint Mail address and corresponding routing table: Recipient Address: ------------------ C=US; A=TELEMAIL; P=MICROSOFT; O=PSS; OU1=WGA; S=USERMBX Local Route table: ------------------ C=US .. A=TELEMAIL ....O=LOCAL ....O=* In this example, only one X.121 address was defined for SPRINT-MTA, but by specifying the Private Domain Name (PRMD) Microsoft, it allowed Sprint to route the message to the proper X.121 address and receiving MTA.
