[comp.protocols.iso] X.400 UK GOSIP question

tonyg@retix.retix.COM (Tony Goulding) (09/29/89)

Being relatively new to the net, I hope I've chosen the right
newsgroup to post this too...

Can anyone out  there supply me with  a  name and internet  address of
anyone  on (presumably) the CCTA committee   that deals with  UK GOSIP
profile w.r.t X.400?

OR if anyone else is familiar with the profile,  could they comment on
this  'interpretation' issue.  It concerns  Deferred Delivery.  Should
the local domain always  be responsible  for deferring a  message  for
which a  deferral time has been specified?  If it can't defer locally,
should it  then just take  the  position that hopefully there  is some
other domain (either the  destination or some  intermediate ADMD/PRMD)
that may be  able to do defer it?   What position should a destination
MTA take when faced with a message that has not yet been deferred, and
this recipient domain is incapable  of deferring the message -  should
it deliver anyway (if it can) or non-deliver??

Comments will be greatfully received!
Thanx in advance,
Tony.
