X400: Profile in X400ADM.EXE

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

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.
