RFC 1616 X.400(88) for European Academics and Research May 1994
initiatives the VALUE program supports X.400 initiatives in certain
countries. VALUE support has so far been limited to X.400(1984)
initiatives, as X.400(1984) has up until now been the dominating OSI
services. However as X.400(1988) implementations have started to
appear a VALUE funded study of the X.400(1988) aspects of messaging
and their impact on the R&D community was felt necessary. This report
is one of the results of that study.
The report documents the results of a task force on X.400(1988)
deployment of the RARE Mails and Messaging Work Group during the
period from November 1992 until October 1993. Open reviews of the
report have occurred in the RARE Mail and Messaging Work Group and
within the IETF X.400ops Working Group.
The scope of the report is limited to deployment of X.400(1988)
services, and as such the report does not contain any recommendations
on development and deployment of Internet RFC 822 / MIME/ PEM related
(pilot) services. However, since the report shows that both
X.400(1988) and RFC 822 / MIME / PEM will be developed and used
within the European R&D community, such a pilot should also
considered. Note: RFC 822 is also known as Internet STD 11.
