Center in the online library at NIC.DDN.MIL.
RFC 1138:
Title: Mapping between X.400(1988) / ISO 10021
and RFC 822
Author: S. Kille
Mailbox: S.Kille@CS.UCL.AC.UK
Pages: 92
Characters: 191,029
pathname: RFC:RFC1138.TXT
This RFC suggests an electronic mail protocol mapping for the Internet
community and UK Academic Community, and requests discussion and
suggestions for improvements. This memo does not specify an Internet
standard. This memo updates RFCs 822, 987, and 1026.
This document describes a set of mappings which will enable
interworking between systems operating the CCITT X.400 (1988)
Recommendations on Message Handling Systems / ISO IEC 10021 Message
Oriented Text Interchange Systems (MOTIS), and systems using the RFC
822 mail protocol or protocols derived from RFC 822. The approach
aims to maximize the services offered across the boundary, while not
requiring unduly complex mappings. The mappings should not require
any changes to end systems.
Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
RFCs can be obtained via FTP from NIC.DDN.MIL, with the pathname
RFC:RFCnnnn.TXT (where "nnnn" refers to the number of the RFC). Login
with FTP, username ANONYMOUS and password GUEST. The NIC also
provides an automatic mail service for those sites which cannot use
FTP. Address the request to SERVICE@NIC.DDN.MIL and in the subject
field of the message indicate the RFC number, as in "Subject:
RFC nnnn".
Requests for special distribution should be addressed to either the
author of the RFC in question, or to NIC@NIC.DDN.MIL. Unless
specifically noted otherwise on the RFC itself, all RFCs are for
unlimited distribution.
Submissions for Requests for Comments should be sent to POSTEL@ISI.EDU.
Requests to be added to or deleted from this distribution list should
be sent to RFC-REQUEST@NIC.DDN.MIL.
