Mapping between X.400 and RFC 822
Status of This Memo
This RFC suggests a proposed protocol for the ARPA-Internet
community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
This document describes a set of mappings which will enable
interworking between systems operating the CCITT X.400 (1984) series
of protocols [CCITT84a], and systems using the RFC 822 mail protocol
[Crocker82a], or protocols derived from RFC 822. The approach aims
to maximise the services offered across the boundary, whilst not
requiring unduly complex mappings. The mappings should not require
any changes to end systems.
This specification should be used when this mapping is performed on
the ARPA-Internet or in the UK Academic Community. This
specification may be modified in the light of implementation
experience, but no substantial changes are expected.
