Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400, versions 2.1, 3.0, 3.2
SUMMARY
Vversions 2.1, 3.0, and 3.2 of Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 provide
two options for separating address attributes:
- All address attributes may be separated by semicolons (;). For example:
c=US;a=TELENET;p=ABC;o=P/Q;g=JOHN;s=STEEL
- All address attributes may be separated by a forward slash (/). A
leading forward slash is also required at the beginning of the O/R
name. If a forward slash is part of an address attribute, the forward
slash must be preceded by the escape character ($) and is entered as
$/. For example:
/c=US/a=TELENET/p=ABC/o=P$/Q/g=JOHN/s=STEEL
