X400: How Address Conversion Is Performed by the Gateway (86980)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 3.0
This article was previously published under Q86980 SUMMARY
The Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 performs address conversion on
both incoming mail and outgoing mail.
On incoming mail, the address conversion is done to the address in the
TO: field only. The FROM: field is not altered because the X.400
message must be retained. If an Microsoft Mail user wants to reply to
the incoming message, the unaltered address in the FROM: field will be
moved into the TO: field so the message can be sent back.
On outgoing mail, the FROM: field is changed from Microsoft Mail for
PCs format to the X.400 format, whereas the TO: field is not altered.
This conversion can be done by either the address conversion table or by
the Advanced Address Mapping.
