SMTP: Examples of Typical SMTP Addresses (88779)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail Gateway to SMTP 3.0
This article was previously published under Q88779 SUMMARY
Here are some examples of SMTP address syntax:
- USER@COMPANY.COM
- USER@UNIVERSITY.EDU
- USER@GOVERNMENT.APPS.GOV
- USER@US.NAVY.MIL
The "USER" portion is mapped to the mailbag name when the gateway receives
the message. This name can be no longer than 10 characters--something you
should consider when planning your naming conventions if an SMTP gateway
will be used in the environment.
The gateway maps everything after the @ sign to a network and postoffice
name. For more information on this topic, see the "Mapping Microsoft Mail
Addresses to SMTP Addresses" section in Chapter 3 of the "Microsoft Mail
Administrator's Guide."
