[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Need Comparison Of X.400 And SMTP

Will@cup.portal.com (Will E Estes) (03/21/91)

Can someone tell me what are the key features present in X.400 addressing
that are missing from SMTP-style addresses?  As I understand it, X.400
is a superset of existing mail systems that tries to capture enough
information in the mail address to make it unique on a global network.
Specifically, what does it do in this respect that SMTP cannot do, and
what are some of the other advantages of X.400?

Thanks,
