X400: Address Conversion and Address Mapping Differences (86979)

SUMMARY

The difference between address conversion and address mapping is analogous to extraction and replacement.

Address conversion uses the technique of extracting and inserting the Microsoft Mail address from within the contents of the X.400 address. This means the X.400 address must contain the network, postoffice, and mailbox name somewhere within the X.400 address the mail message is being sent to. For example:

c=ca;a=telecom.canada;p=cdn;o=bc;ou=network;ou=postoffice;pn=mailbag

Using the address conversion, the Microsoft Mail address can be extracted using the conversion method and setting the first OU to be the network, the second OU to be the postoffice, and the PN to be the mailbag.
