Addendum to RFC 987
(Mapping between X.400 and RFC-822)
Status of this Memo
This RFC suggest a proposed protocol for the Internet community, and
requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.
This document specifies a number of additions and corrections to
RFC-987, aka Mailgroup Note 19.
The addendum carries equal weight to the original specification,
which must be used when this mapping is performed on the Internet or
in the UK Academic Community. This mapping may also be used within
the RARE community in Europe. This specification may be modified in
the light of implementation experience, but no substantial changes
are expected.
1. Errata
- In section 4.6.4, replace ".." with ".".
- In section 4.2.4, replace three references to 4.3.1 by
4.2.1, and one reference to 4.2.2 by 4.1.2.
- In section 5.2, replace "1 mailbox" with "1#mailbox",
"1 msg-id" with "1#msg-id" and "1 encoded-type" with
"1#encoded-type".
2. Component Ordering
In most cases, ordering of O/R name components is not significant for
the mappings specified by this document. However, Organisational
Units and Domain Defined Attributes are specified as SEQUENCE, in
P1.ORName, and so their order may be significant. This specification
needs to take account of this in two ways:
1) To allow consistent mapping into the domain hierarchy
2) To ensure preservation of order over multiple mappings.
