Network Working Group S.E. Kille Internet Draft ISODE Consortium RFC 1327bis August 1995 Obsoletes: RFCs 987, 1026, 1138, 1148, 1327, 1495 Updates: RFC 822 | MIXER (Mime Internet X.400 Enhanced Relay): Mapping between X.400 and RFC 822/MIME Status of this Memo: This document describes a set of mappings which will enable interworking between systems operating the CCITT X.400 Recommendations on Message Handling Systems (1984, 1988 and 1992 versions) / ISO IEC 10021 Message Oriented Text Interchange Systems (MOTIS) [2,13,15], and systems using the RFC 822 mail protocol [16] or protocols derived from RFC 822, supplemented by the MIME specifications [9]. Older systems which do not use MIME are still supported. The approach aims to maximise the services offered across the boundary, whilst not requiring unduly complex mappings. The mappings should not require any changes to end systems. This document is a revision based on the evolving sequence of RFCs 987, 1026, 1138, 1148 and 1327 [17,18,20-22], which it obsoletes. It incorporates changes specified in RFC 1495 [5], which it also obsoletes. This document specifies a mapping between two families of protocols, which includes both protocol/service mappings and use of a mandatory global mappings. This specification should be used when this mapping is performed. This | specification may be modified in the light of implementation experience, but no substantial changes are expected. This draft document will be submitted to the RFC editor as a protocol specification. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Please send comments to the author.

X.400 This document relates primarily to the ITU 1988 and 1992 X.400 Series Recommendations / ISO IEC 10021 on the Message Oriented Text Interchange Service (MOTIS). This ISO/ITU standard is referred to in this document as "X.400", which is a convenient shorthand. Any reference to the 1984 ITU Recommendations will be explicit. Any mappings relating to elements which are in the 1992 version and not in the 1988 version will be noted explicitly. X.400 defines an Interpersonal Messaging System (IPMS), making use of a store and forward Message Transfer System. This document relates to the IPMS, and not to wider | application of X.400, such as EDI as defined in X.435. 1.2. RFC 822 and MIME RFC 822 evolved as a messaging standard on the DARPA (the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) Internet. RFC 822 specifies an end to end message format, consisting of a header and an unstructured text body. MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) specifies a structured message body format for use with RFC 822. The term "RFC 822" is used in this document to refer to the combination of MIME and RFC 822. RFC 822 and MIME are used in conjunction with a number of different message transfer protocol environments. The core of the MIXER specification is designed to work with any supporting message transfer protocol. One transfer protocol, SMTP, is of particular importance and is covered in MIXER. On the Internet and other TCP/IP networks, RFC 822 is used in conjunction with RFC 821, also known as Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) [31], in a manner conformant with the host requirements specification [10]. Use of MIXER with SMTP is defined in Appendix A. Kille [page 6] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 1.3. The need for conversion There is a large community using RFC 822 based protocols for mail services, who will wish to communicate with users of the IPMS provided by X.400 systems. This will also be a requirement in cases where communities intend to make a transition to use of an X.400 IPMS, as conversion will be needed to ensure a smooth service transition. It is expected that there will be more than one gateway, and this specification will enable them to behave in a consistent manner. Note that the term gateway is used to describe a component performing the protocol mappings between RFC 822 and X.400. This is standard usage amongst mail implementors, but should be noted carefully by transport and network service implementors. Consistency between gateways is desirable to provide: 1. Consistent service to users. 2. The best service in cases where a message passes through multiple gateways. 1.4. General approach There are a number of basic principles underlying the details of the specification. These principles are goals, and are not achieved in all aspects of the specification. 1. The specification should be pragmatic. There should not be a requirement for complex mappings for "Academic" reasons. Complex mappings should not be required to support trivial additional functionality. 2. Subject to 1), functionality across a gateway should be as high as possible. 3. It is always a bad idea to lose information as a result of any transformation. Hence, it is a bad idea for a gateway to discard information in the objects it processes. This includes requested services which cannot be fully mapped. 4. All mail gateways actually operate at exactly one level above the layer on which they conceptually operate. This implies that the gateway must not only be cognisant of the Kille [page 7] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 semantics of objects at the gateway level, but also be cognisant of higher level semantics. If meaningful transformation of the objects that the gateway operates on is to occur, then the gateway needs to understand more than the objects themselves. 5. Subject to 1), the specification should be reversible. That is, a double transformation should bring you back to where you started. 1.5. Gatewaying Model 1.5.1. X.400 X.400 defines the IPMS Abstract Service in X.420/ISO 10021-7 , [11] which comprises of three basic services: 1. Origination 2. Reception 3. Management Management is a local interaction between the user and the IPMS, and is therefore not relevant to gatewaying. The first two services consist of operations to originate and receive the following two objects: 1. IPM (Interpersonal Message). This has two components: a heading, and a body. The body is structured as a sequence of body parts, which may be basic components (e.g., IA5 text, or G3 fax), or Interpersonal Messages. The heading consists of fields containing end to end user information, such as subject, primary recipients (To:), and importance. 2. IPN (Inter Personal Notification). A notification about receipt of a given IPM at the UA level. The Origination service also allows for origination of a probe, which is an object to test whether a given IPM could be correctly received. The Reception service also allows for receipt of Delivery Reports (DR), which indicate delivery success or failure. Kille [page 8] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 These IPMS Services utilise the Message Transfer (MT) Abstract Service [12]. The MT Abstract Service provides the following three basic services: 1. Submission (used by IPMS Origination) 2. Delivery (used by IPMS Reception) 3. Administration (used by IPMS Management) Administration is a local issue, and so does not affect this standard. Submission and delivery relate primarily to the MTS Message (comprising Envelope and Content), which carries an IPM or IPN (or other uninterpreted contents). There is also an Envelope, which includes an ID, an originator, and a list of recipients. Submission also includes the probe service, which supports the IPMS Probe. Delivery also includes Reports, which indicate whether a given MTS Message has been delivered or not. The MTS is provided by MTAs which interact using the MTA | (Message Transfer Agent) Service, which defines the interaction between MTAs, along with the procedures for distributed operation. This service provides for transfer of MTS Messages, Probes, and Reports. 1.5.2. RFC 822 RFC 822 is based on the assumption that there is an underlying service, which is here called the 822-MTS service. The 822-MTS service provides three basic functions: 1. Identification of a list of recipients. 2. Identification of an error return address. 3. Transfer of an RFC 822 message. It is possible to achieve 2) within the RFC 822 header. | This specification will be used most commonly with SMTP as | the 822-MTS service. The core MIXER specification is written so | that it does not rely on non-basic 822-MTS services. Use of | non-basic SMTP services is described in Appendix A. The core of | this document is written using SMTP terminology for 822-MTS | Kille [page 9] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 services, for clarity in its usual domain of application. | An RFC 822 message consists of a header, and content which is uninterpreted ASCII text. The header is divided into fields, which are the protocol elements. Most of these fields are analogous to P2 heading fields, although some are analogous to MTS Service Elements or MTA Service Elements. RFC 822 supports delivery status notifications by use of the NOTARY mechanisms [29]. 1.5.3. The Gateway Given this functional description of the two services, the functional nature of a gateway can now be considered. It would | be elegant to consider the SMTP (822-MTS) service mapping onto the MTS Service Elements and RFC 822 mapping onto an IPM, but reality just does not fit. Another elegant approach would be to treat this document as the definition of an X.400 Access Unit (AU). Again, reality does not fit. It is necessary to consider that the IPM format definition, the IPMS Service Elements, the MTS Service Elements, and MTA Service Elements on one side are | mapped into RFC 822 + SMTP on the other in a slightly tangled manner. The details of the tangle will be made clear in Chapter 5. Access to the MTA Service Elements is minimised. The following basic mappings are thus defined. When going from RFC 822 to X.400, an RFC 822 message and the associated SMTP | information is always mapped into an IPM (MTA, MTS, and IPMS Services) and a Delivery Status Notification is mapped onto a Report. Going from X.400 to RFC 822, an RFC 822 message and the | associated SMTP information may be derived from: 1. An IPN (MTA, MTS, and IPMS services) 2. An IPM (MTA, MTS, and IPMS services) A Report (MTA, and MTS Services) is mapped onto a delivery status notification. Probes (MTA Service) must be processed by the gateway, as discussed in Chapter 5. MTS Messages containing Content Types other than those defined by the IPMS are not mapped by the gateway, and should be rejected at the gateway. | Kille [page 10] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 This specification is concerned with X.400 IPMS. Future | specifications may defined mappings for other X.400 content | types. 1.5.4. Repeated Mappings The primary goal of this specification is to support single mappings, so that X.400 and RFC 822 users can communicate with maximum functionality. The mappings specified here are designed to work where a message traverses multiple times between X.400 and RFC 822. This is often essential, particularly in the case of distribution lists. However, in general, this will lead to a level of service which is the lowest common denominator (approximately the services offered by RFC 822). Some RFC 822 networks may wish to use X.400 as an interconnection mechanism (typically for policy reasons), and this is fully supported. Where an X.400 message transfers to RFC 822 and then back to X.400, there is no expectation of X.400 services which do not have an equivalent service in standard RFC 822 being preserved - although this may be possible in some cases. 1.6. X.400 (1984) Much of this work is based on the initial specification of RFC 987 and in its addendum RFC 1026, which defined a mapping between X.400(1984) and RFC 822. A basic decision is that the mapping defined in this document is to the full 1988 version of X.400, and not to a 1984 compatible subset. New features of X.400(1988) can be used to provide a much cleaner mapping than that defined in RFC 987. This is important, to give good support to communities which will utilise full X.400 at an early date. To interwork with 1984 systems, Appendix B shall be followed. If a message is being transferred to an X.400(1984) system by way of X.400(1988) MTA it will give a slightly better service to follow the rules of Appendix B, than to downgrade without this knowledge. Downgrading specifications which supplement those specified in X.400 are given in RFC 1328 and RFC 1496 (HARPOON) [6,23]. Kille [page 11] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 1.7. X.400 (1992) X.400 (1992) features are not used by the core of this mapping, and so there is not an equivalent downgrade problem. 1.8. MIME MIME format messages are generated by this mapping. As MIME messages are fully RFC 822 compliant, this will not cause problems with systems which are not MIME capable. 1.9. Body Parts MIME and X.400 IPMS can both carry arbitrary body parts. This specification describes mapping of the framework for structured messages, but does not specify how specific body parts shall be mapped. Body part mapping is an open ended problem, as new body parts (attachments) will continue to be added to both X.400 and MIME. MIME defines a mechanism for adding new body parts, and new body parts are registered with the IANA. X.400 defines a mechanism adding new body parts, usually referred to as Body Part 15. Extensions are defined by Object Identifiers, so there is no requirement for a body part registration authority. The Electronic Mail Association (EMA) maintains a list of some commonly used body parts. The EMA has specified a mechanism to use the File Transfer Body Part (FTBP) as a more generic means to support message attachments. This approach is gaining widespread commercial support. MIXER defines how to map between MIME and both the Body Part 15 and EMA/FTBP extension mechanisms for X.400. In many cases, this will enable a gateway implementor to map between the same body part carried by these mechanisms. Mapping of standard IPM and MIME body parts, and some extended MIME and X.400 body parts, is defined in RFC 1494bis [7]. This also gives a model for specifying further mappings. It will not be possible to specify all mappings. Therefore, MIXER defines encapsulation mechanisms for both MIME and X.400. This will allow all body parts to be transferred end to end, irrespective of a mapping being defined. Kille [page 12] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 To provide a gateway service, it is therefore necessary for an implementation to conform to both this specification and to provide various body part mappings, such as those defined in RFC 1494bis. 1.10. Compatibility with previous versions The changes between this and older versions of the document are given in Appendices H, I and J. These are RFCs 987, 1026, | 1138, 1148 and 1327. This document is a revision of RFC 1327 . [ As far as possible, changes have been made in a compatible [ fashion. [ 1.11. Aspects not covered [ There have been a number of cases where previous versions of this | document were used in a manner which was not intended. This | section is to make clear some limitations of scope. In particular, this specification does not specify: - Extensions of RFC 822 to provide access to all X.400 services - X.400 user interface definition These are really coupled. To map the X.400 services, this specification defines a number of extensions to RFC 822. As a side effect, these give the 822 user access to SOME X.400 services. However, the aim on the RFC 822 side is to preserve current service, and it is intentional that access is not given to all X.400 services. Thus, it will be a poor choice for X.400 implementors to use MIXER as an interface - there are too many aspects of X.400 which cannot be accessed through it. If a text interface is desired, a specification targeted at X.400, without RFC 822 restrictions, would be more appropriate. Some optional and limited extensions in this area have proved useful, and are defined in Appendix C. 1.12. Subsetting This proposal specifies a mapping which is appropriate to preserve services in existing RFC 822 communities. Implementations and specifications which subset this | specification are non-conformant and strongly discouraged. Kille [page 13] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 1.13. | Specification Language | ISO and Internet standards have clear definitions as to the style | of language used. This specification maps between ISO/ITU | protocol and Internet protocols. This document uses ISO | terminology for the following reasons: | 1. This was done in previous versions. | 2. ISO language may be mechanically converted to Internet | language, but not vice versa. | To interpet this document according to Internet rules, replace | every occurrence of "shall" with "must". | 1.14. Related Specifications Mappings between Mail-11 and X.400 and Mail-11 and rfc822 are described in RFC1405, using mappings related to those defined here [3]. 1.15. Document Structure This document has five chapters: 1. Overview - this chapter. 2. Service Elements - This describes the (end user) services mapped by a gateway. 3. Basic mappings - This describes some basic notation used in Chapters 3-5, the mappings between character sets, and some fundamental protocol elements. 4. Addressing - This considers the mapping between X.400 O/R names and RFC 822 addresses, which is a fundamental gateway component. 5. Detailed Mappings - This describes the details of all other mappings. There are also ten appendices.

It gives a view of the functionality provided by such a gateway for communication with users in the opposite domain. This chapter considers service mappings in the context of SINGLE transfers only, and not repeated mappings through multiple gateways. 2.1. The Notion of Service Across a Gateway RFC 822 and X.400 provide a number of services to the end user. This chapter describes the extent to which each service can be supported across an X.400 <-> RFC 822 gateway. The cases considered are single transfers across such a gateway, although the problems of multiple crossings are noted where appropriate. 2.1.1. Origination of Messages When a user originates a message, a number of services are available. Some of these imply actions (e.g., delivery to a recipient), and some are insertion of known data (e.g., specification of a subject field). This chapter describes, for each offered service, to what extent it is supported for a recipient accessed through a gateway. There are three levels of support: Supported The corresponding protocol elements map well, and so the service can be fully provided. Not Supported The service cannot be provided, as there is a complete mismatch. Partial Support The service can be partially fulfilled. In the first two cases, the service is simply marked as "Supported" or "Not Supported". Some explanation may be given if there are additional implications, or the (non) support is not intuitive. For partial support, the level of partial support is Kille [page 16] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 summarised. Where partial support is good, this will be described by a phrase such as "Supported by use of.....". A common case of this is where the service is mapped onto a non- standard service on the other side of the gateway, and this would have lead to support if it had been a standard service. In many cases, this is equivalent to support. For partial support, an indication of the mechanism is given, in order to give a feel for the level of support provided. Note that this is not a replacement for Chapter 5, where the mapping is fully specified. If a service is described as supported, this implies: - Semantic correspondence. - No (significant) loss of information. - Any actions required by the service element. An example of a service gaining full support: If an RFC 822 originator specifies a Subject: field, this is considered to be supported, as an X.400 recipient will get a subject indication. In many cases, the required action will simply be to make the information available to the end user. In other cases, actions may imply generating a delivery report. All RFC 822 services are supported or partially supported for origination. The implications of non-supported X.400 services is described under X.400. 2.1.2. Reception of Messages For reception, the list of service elements required to support this mapping is specified. This is really an indication of what a recipient might expect to see in a message which has been remotely originated. 2.2. RFC 822 RFC 822 does not explicitly define service elements, as distinct from protocol elements. However, all of the RFC 822 header fields, with the exception of trace, can be regarded as corresponding to implicit RFC 822 service elements. Kille [page 17] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 2.2.1. Origination in RFC 822 A mechanism of mapping, used in several cases, is to map the RFC 822 header into a heading extension in the IPM (InterPersonal Message). This can be regarded as partial support, as it makes the information available to any X.400 implementations which are interested in these services. Communities which require significant RFC 822 interworking are recommended to require that their X.400 User Agents are able to display these heading extensions. Support for the various service elements (headers) is now listed. Date: Supported. From: Supported. For messages where there is also a sender field, the mapping is to "Authorising Users Indication", which has subtly different semantics to the general RFC 822 usage of From:. Sender: Supported. Reply-To: Supported. To: Supported. Cc: Supported. Bcc: Supported. Message-Id: Supported. In-Reply-To: Supported, for a single reference. Where multiple references are given, partial support is given by mapping to "Cross Referencing Indication". This gives similar semantics. References: Supported. Kille [page 18] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Keywords: Supported by use of a heading extension. Subject: Supported. Comments: Supported by use of a heading extension. Encrypted: Supported by use of a heading extension. Resent-* Supported by use of a heading extension. Note that addresses in these fields are mapped onto text, and so are not accessible to the X.400 user as addresses. In principle, fuller support would be possible by mapping onto a forwarded IP Message, but this is not suggested. Other Fields In particular X-* fields, and "illegal" fields in common usage (e.g., "Fruit-of-the-day:") are supported by use of heading extensions. MIME introduces the following headings, which are supported as follows: Content-Type: Supported. The definition of MIME Content Type is somewhat like X.400 Encoded Information Type, but has some aspects of X.400 Content Type. The mapping is complex, but it will either be mapped to an equivalent X.400 piece of information or tunnelled by use of a special extended body part defined in RFC 1494bis. | Content-Transfer-Encoding: Supported. The encoding of the information in X.400 will be appropriate to the data being transferred. The service is mapped in an appropriate manner. Content-ID: Supported in some cases. Support depend on the body part and the mapping selected by the gateway. Kille [page 19] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Content-Description: Supported in some cases. Support depend on the body part and the mapping selected by the gateway. MIME-Version: Supported by use of a heading extension. MIME, like RFC 822, does not explicitly define services. It is useful in the service section to note support for MIME Content types that do not map directly to atomic body parts: multipart/mixed Supported. multipart/alternative Partially supported. No data is lost. The fact that the body parts are alternatives is indicated in a heading extension, and there is no guarantee that this can be interpreted by an X.400 user agent, and by a subject line. multipart/digest Supported. multipart/parallel Partially supported. No data is lost. The fact that the | body parts are parallel is indicated in a heading extension, which may not be interpreted by an X.400 user agent, and by a subject line. multipart/unknown Supported. Unknown semantics are not mapped. message/rfc822 Supported. message/partial Supported by mapping of message fragments to X.400 messages. X.400 User Agents will not in general be able to automatically reassemble fragments. message/external-body Supported by incorporating the external body into the X.400 message. Kille [page 20] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 message/unknown Supported. Unknown semantics are not mapped. other | Kille [page 21] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Support for the other MIME content types (text, application, image, audio, video) is defined in RFC 1494bis, with a | fallback mechanism for undefined an unrecognised types | defined in MIXER. 2.2.2. Reception by RFC 822 This considers reception by an RFC 822 User Agent of a message originated in an X.400 system and transferred across a gateway. The following standard services (headers) may be present in such a message: Date: From: Sender: Reply-To: To: Cc: Bcc: Message-Id: In-Reply-To: References: Subject: Content-Type: Content-Transfer-Encoding: MIME-Version: Kille [page 22] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 The following non-standard services (headers) may be present in the header of a message. These are defined in more detail in Chapter 5 (5.3.4, 5.3.6, 5.3.7): Autoforwarded: Autosubmitted: X400-Content-Identifier: Content-Language: Conversion: Conversion-With-Loss: Delivery-Date: Discarded-X400-IPMS-Extensions: Discarded-X400-MTS-Extensions: DL-Expansion-History: Deferred-Delivery: Expiry-Date: Importance: Incomplete-Copy: Latest-Delivery-Time: Message-Type: Obsoletes: Original-Encoded-Information-Types: Originator-Return-Address: Priority: Kille [page 23] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Reply-By: Requested-Delivery-Method: Sensitivity: X400-Content-Type: X400-MTS-Identifier: X400-Originator: X400-Received: X400-Recipients: 2.3. X.400 2.3.1. Origination in X.400 When mapping services from X.400 to RFC 822 which are not supported by RFC 822, new RFC 822 headers are defined, and | registered by publication in this standard. It is intended that | co-operating RFC 822 systems may also use them. Where these new fields are used, and no system action is implied, the service can be regarded as being partially supported. Chapter 5 describes how to map X.400 services onto these new headers. Other elements are provided, in part, by the gateway as they cannot be provided by RFC 822. Some service elements are marked N/A (not applicable). There are five cases, which are marked with different comments: N/A (local) These elements are only applicable to User Agent / Message Transfer Agent interaction and so they cannot apply to RFC 822 recipients. N/A (PDAU) These service elements are only applicable where the recipient is reached by use of a Physical Delivery Access Unit (PDAU), and so do not need to be mapped by the gateway. N/A (reception) Kille [page 24] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 These services are only applicable for reception. N/A (prior) If requested, this service must be performed prior to the gateway. N/A (MS) These services are only applicable to Message Store (i.e., a local service). Finally, some service elements are not supported. In particular, the new security services are not mapped onto RFC 822. Unless otherwise indicated, the behaviour of service elements marked as not supported will depend on the criticality marking supplied by the user. If the element is marked as critical for transfer or delivery, a non-delivery notification will be generated. Otherwise, the service request will be ignored. 2.3.1.1. Basic Interpersonal Messaging Service These are the mandatory IPM services as listed in Section 19.8 of X.400 / ISO/IEC 10021-1, listed here in the order given. Section 19.8 has cross references to short definitions of each service. Access management N/A (local). Content Type Indication Supported by a new RFC 822 header (X400-Content-Type:). | Converted Indication Supported by a new RFC 822 header (X400-Received:). Delivery Time Stamp Indication N/A (reception). IP Message Identification Supported. Message Identification Supported, by use of a new RFC 822 header (X400-MTS-Identifier). This new header is required, as X.400 has two message-ids whereas RFC 822 has only one (see Kille [page 25] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 IP Message Identification Non-delivery Notification Not supported in all cases. Supported where the recipient system supports NOTARY DSNs. In general all RFC 822 systems will return error reports by use of IP messages. In other service elements, this pragmatic result can be treated as effective support of this service element. Original Encoded Information Types Indication Supported as a new RFC 822 header (Original-Encoded-Information-Types:). Submission Time Stamp Indication Supported. Typed Body The mapping of ForwardedIPMessage and IA5 body parts is defined and supported. A framework form mapping other body parts, including encapsulation mechanism is defined. Mapping of standard body parts and selected other body parts is defined in RFC 1494bis. User Capabilities Registration N/A (local). 2.3.1.2. IPM Service Optional User Facilities This section describes support for the optional (user selectable) IPM services as listed in Section 19.9 of X.400 / ISO/IEC 10021- 1, listed here in the order given. Section 19.9 has cross references to short definitions of each service. Additional Physical Rendition N/A (PDAU). Alternate Recipient Allowed Not supported. There is no RFC 822 service equivalent to prohibition of alternate recipient assignment (e.g., an RFC 822 system may freely send an undeliverable message to a local postmaster). Thus, the gateway cannot prevent assignment of alternative recipients on the RFC 822 side. This service really means giving the user control as to whether or not an alternate recipient is allowed. This Kille [page 26] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 specification requires transfer of messages to RFC 822 irrespective of this service request, and so this service is not supported. Authorising User's Indication Supported. Auto-forwarded Indication Supported as new RFC 822 header (Auto-Forwarded:). Basic Physical Rendition N/A (PDAU). Blind Copy Recipient Indication Supported. Body Part Encryption Indication Supported by use of a new RFC 822 header (Original-Encoded-Information-Types:), although in most cases it will not be possible to map the body part in question. Content Confidentiality Not supported. Content Integrity Not supported. Conversion Prohibition Supported. Operation defined in RFC 1494bis. | Conversion Prohibition in Case of Loss of Information Supported. Operation defined in RFC 1494bis. | Counter Collection N/A (PDAU). Counter Collection with Advice N/A (PDAU). Cross Referencing Indication Supported. Deferred Delivery Kille [page 27] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 N/A (prior). This service should always be provided by the MTS prior to the gateway. A new RFC 822 header (Deferred-Delivery:) is provided to transfer information on this service to the recipient. Deferred Delivery Cancellation N/A (local). Delivery Notification Supported. This is performed at the gateway, but may be performed at the end system if the end system supports NOTARY. Thus, a notification is sent by the gateway to the originator. * Delivery via Bureaufax Service N/A (PDAU). Designation of Recipient by Directory Name N/A (local). Disclosure of Other Recipients Supported by use of a new RFC 822 header (X400-Recipients:). This is descriptive information for the RFC 822 recipient, and is not reverse mappable. DL Expansion History Indication Supported by use of a new RFC 822 header (DL-Expansion-History:). DL Expansion Prohibited Distribution List means MTS supported distribution list, in the manner of X.400. This service does not exist in the RFC 822 world. RFC 822 distribution lists should be regarded in | X.400 terms as an informal redistribution mechanism, beyond the scope of this control. Messages will be sent to RFC 822 | distribution lists, irrespective of whether this service is | requested. Theoretically therefore, this service is | supported, although in practice it is not supported. Express Mail Service N/A (PDAU). Expiry Date Indication Supported as new RFC 822 header (Expiry-Date:). In general, Kille [page 28] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 no automatic action can be expected. Explicit Conversion N/A (prior). Forwarded IP Message Indication Supported. | Grade of Delivery Selection Not Supported. There is no equivalent service in RFC 822. | Importance Indication Supported as new RFC 822 header (Importance:). Incomplete Copy Indication Supported as new RFC 822 header (Incomplete-Copy:). Language Indication Supported as new RFC 822 header (Language:). Latest Delivery Designation Not supported. A new RFC 822 header (Latest-Delivery-Time:) is provided, which may be used by the recipient. Message Flow Confidentiality Not supported. Message Origin Authentication N/A (reception). Message Security Labelling Not supported. Message Sequence Integrity Not supported. Multi-Destination Delivery Supported. Multi-part Body Supported. Non Receipt Notification Request Not supported. Kille [page 29] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Non Repudiation of Delivery Not supported. Non Repudiation of Origin N/A (reception). Non Repudiation of Submission N/A (local). Obsoleting Indication Supported as new RFC 822 header (Obsoletes:). Ordinary Mail N/A (PDAU). Originator Indication Supported. Originator Requested Alternate Recipient Not supported, but is placed as comment next to address (X400-Recipients:). Physical Delivery Notification by MHS N/A (PDAU). Physical Delivery Notification by PDS N/A (PDAU). Physical Forwarding Allowed Supported by use of a comment in a new RFC 822 header (X400-Recipients:), associated with the recipient in question. Physical Forwarding Prohibited Supported by use of a comment in a new RFC 822 header (X400-Recipients:), associated with the recipient in question. Prevention of Non-delivery notification Supported where SMTP and NOTARY are available. In other | cases formally supported, as delivery notifications cannot | be generated by RFC 822. In practice, errors will be returned as IP Messages, and so this service may appear not to be supported (see Non-delivery Notification). Kille [page 30] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Primary and Copy Recipients Indication Supported Probe Supported at the gateway (i.e., the gateway services the probe). Probe Origin Authentication N/A (reception). Proof of Delivery Not supported. Proof of Submission N/A (local). Receipt Notification Request Indication Not supported. | Redirection Disallowed by Originator | Redirection means MTS supported redirection, in the manner of X.400. This service does not exist in the RFC 822 world. RFC 822 redirection (e.g., aliasing) should be regarded as an informal redirection mechanism, beyond the scope of this control. Messages will be sent to RFC 822, irrespective of | whether this service is requested. In practice, control of | this service is not supported. Registered Mail N/A (PDAU). Registered Mail to Addressee in Person N/A (PDAU). Reply Request Indication Supported as comment next to address. Replying IP Message Indication Supported. Report Origin Authentication N/A (reception). Request for Forwarding Address Kille [page 31] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 N/A (PDAU). Requested Delivery Method N/A (local). The services required must be dealt with at submission time. Any such request is made available through the gateway by use of a comment associated with the recipient in question. Return of Content Supported where SMTP and NOTARY are used. In principle for | other situations, this is N/A, as non-delivery notifications | are not supported. In practice, most RFC 822 systems will return part or all of the content along with the IP Message indicating an error (see Non-delivery Notification). Sensitivity Indication Supported as new RFC 822 header (Sensitivity:). Special Delivery N/A (PDAU). Stored Message Deletion N/A (MS). Stored Message Fetching N/A (MS). Stored Message Listing N/A (MS). Stored Message Summary N/A (MS). Subject Indication Supported. Undeliverable Mail with Return of Physical Message N/A (PDAU). Use of Distribution List In principle this applies only to X.400 supported distribution lists (see DL Expansion Prohibited). Theoretically, this service is N/A (prior). In practice, because of informal RFC 822 lists, this service can be Kille [page 32] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 regarded as supported. Auto-Submitted Indication Supported 2.3.2. Reception by X.400 2.3.2.1. Standard Mandatory Services The following standard IPM mandatory user facilities are required for reception of RFC 822 originated mail by an X.400 UA. Content Type Indication Delivery Time Stamp Indication IP Message Identification Message Identification Non-delivery Notification Original Encoded Information Types Indication Submission Time Stamp Indication Typed Body 2.3.2.2. Standard Optional Services The following standard IPM optional user facilities are required for reception of RFC 822 originated mail by an X.400 UA. Authorising User's Indication Blind Copy Recipient Indication Cross Referencing Indication Originator Indication Primary and Copy Recipients Indication Kille [page 33] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Replying IP Message Indication Subject Indication 2.3.2.3. New Services A new X.400 service "RFC 822 Header Field" is defined using the | extension facilities. This allows for any RFC 822 header field to be represented. It may be present in RFC 822 originated | messages which are received by an X.400 UA. Kille [page 34] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Chapter 3 Basic Mappings 3.1. Notation The X.400 protocols are encoded in a structured manner according to ASN.1, whereas RFC 822 is text encoded. To define a detailed mapping, it is necessary to refer to detailed protocol elements in each format. A notation to achieve this is described in this section. 3.1.1. RFC 822 Structured text is defined according to the Extended Backus Naur Form (EBNF) defined in Section 2 of RFC 822 [16]. In the EBNF definitions used in this specification, the syntax rules given in Appendix D of RFC 822 are assumed. When these EBNF tokens are referred to outside an EBNF definition, they are identified by the string "822." appended to the beginning of the string (e.g., 822.addr-spec). Additional syntax rules, to be used throughout this specification, are defined in this chapter. The EBNF is used in two ways. 1. To describe components of RFC 822 messages (or of SMTP | components). When these new EBNF tokens are referred to outside an EBNF definition, they are identified by the string "EBNF." appended to the beginning of the string (e.g., EBNF.importance). 2. To describe the structure of IA5 or ASCII information not in an RFC 822 message. For all new EBNF, tokens will either be self delimiting, or be delimited by self delimiting tokens. Comments and LWSP are not used as delimiters, except for the following cases, where LWSP may be inserted according to RFC 822 rules. - Around the ":" in all headers - EBNF.labelled-integer Kille [page 35] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 - EBNF.object-identifier - EBNF.encoded-info RFC 822 folding rules are applied to all headers. Comments are never used in these new headers. This notation is used in a modified form to refer to NOTARY ENBF [29]. For this EBNF, the keyword EBNF it replaces with DSN, | for example DSN.final-recipient-field fields. 3.1.2. ASN.1 An element is referred to with the following syntax, defined in EBNF: element = service "." definition *( "." definition ) service = "IPMS" / "MTS" / "MTA" definition = identifier / context identifier = ALPHA *< ALPHA or DIGIT or "-" > context = "[" 1*DIGIT "]" The EBNF.service keys are shorthand for the following service specifications: IPMS IPMSInformationObjects defined in Annex E of X.420 / ISO 10021-7. MTS MTSAbstractService defined in Section 9 of X.411 / ISO 10021-4. MTA MTAAbstractService defined in Section 13 of X.411 / ISO 10021-4. FTBP File Transfer Body Part, as defined in [28]. LP The first EBNF.identifier identifies a type or value key in the context of the defined service specification. Subsequent EBNF.identifiers identify a value label or type in the context of the first identifier (SET or SEQUENCE). EBNF.context indicates a context tag, and is used where there is no label or type to uniquely identify a component. The special EBNF.identifier keyword "value" is used to denote an element of a sequence. Kille [page 36] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 For example, IPMS.Heading.subject defines the subject element of the IPMS heading. The same syntax is also used to refer to element values. For example, MTS.EncodedInformationTypes.[0].g3Fax refers to a value of MTS.EncodedInformationTypes.[0] . 3.2. ASCII and IA5 A gateway will interpret all IA5 as ASCII. Thus, mapping between these forms is conceptual. 3.3. Standard Types There is a need to convert between ASCII text and some of the | types defined in ASN.1 [14]. For each case, an EBNF syntax definition is given, for use in all of this specification, which leads to a mapping between ASN.1, and an EBNF construct. All EBNF syntax definitions of ASN.1 types are in lower case, whereas ASN.1 types are referred to with the first letter in upper case. Except as noted, all mappings are symmetrical. 3.3.1. Boolean Boolean is encoded as: boolean = "TRUE" / "FALSE" 3.3.2. NumericString NumericString is encoded as: numericstring = *DIGIT 3.3.3. PrintableString PrintableString is a restricted IA5String defined as: printablestring = *( ps-char ) ps-restricted-char = 1DIGIT / 1ALPHA / " " / "'" / "+" / "," / "-" / "." / "/" / ":" / "=" / "?" ps-delim = "(" / ")" ps-char = ps-delim / ps-restricted-char Kille [page 37] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 This can be used to represent real printable strings in EBNF. 3.3.4. T.61String In cases where T.61 strings are only used for conveying human interpreted information, the aim of a mapping is to render the characters appropriately in the remote character set, rather than to maximise reversibility. For these cases, there are two options, both of which are conformant to this specification: 1. The mappings to IA5 defined in ITU Recommendation X.408 (1988) may be used [13]. These will then be encoded in ASCII. This is the approach mandated in RFC 1327. 2. This mapping may be used if the characters are not contained within ASCII repertoire, but are all in an IANA-registered character set. Use the encoding defined in RFC 1522 [9]. | to generate appropriate encoded-words. If this mapping is | used, the character set ISO-8859-1 shall be used if all of | the characters needed are available in this repertoire. In | other cases, the character set TELETEX shall be used. The | details of these mappings are defined in the Appendix of | RFC1494bis. There is also a need to represent Teletex Strings in ASCII, for some aspects of O/R Address. For these, the following encoding is used: teletex-string = *( ps-char / t61-encoded ) t61-encoded = "{" 1* t61-encoded-char "}" t61-encoded-char = 3DIGIT Characters in EBNF.ps-char are mapped simply. Other octets, | including control characters, are mapped using a quoting mechanism similar to the printable string mechanism. Each octet is represented as 3 decimal digits. There are a number of places where a string may have a Teletex and/or Printable String representation. The following BNF is used to represent this. teletex-and-or-ps = [ printablestring ] [ "*" teletex-string ] The natural mapping is restricted to EBNF.ps-char, in order to Kille [page 38] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 make the full BNF easier to parse. 3.3.5. UTCTime Both UTCTime and the RFC 822 822.date-time syntax contain: Year (lowest two digits), Month, Day of Month, hour, minute, second (optional), and Timezone. 822.date-time also contains an optional day of the week, but this is redundant. Therefore a symmetrical mapping can be made between these constructs. Note: In practice, a gateway will need to parse various illegal variants on 822.date-time. In cases where 822.date-time cannot be parsed, it is recommended that the derived UTCTime is set to the value at the time of translation. When mapping to X.400, the UTCTime format which specifies the timezone offset shall be used. When mapping to RFC 822, the 822.date-time format shall include a numeric timezone offset (e.g., +0000). When mapping time values, the timezone shall be preserved as specified. The date shall not be normalised to any other timezone. 3.3.6. Integer A basic ASN.1 Integer will be mapped onto EBNF.numericstring. In many cases ASN.1 will enumerate Integer values or use ENUMERATED. An EBNF encoding labelled-integer is provided. When mapping from EBNF to ASN.1, only the integer value is mapped, and the associated text is discarded. When mapping from ASN.1 to EBNF, addition of an appropriate text label is strongly encouraged. labelled-integer ::= [ key-string ] "(" numericstring ")" key-string = *key-char key-char = 3.3.7. Object Identifier Object identifiers are represented in a form similar to that Kille [page 39] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 given in ASN.1. The order is the same as for ASN.1 (big-endian). The numbers are mandatory, and used when mapping from the ASCII to ASN.1. The key-strings are optional. It is recommended that as many strings as possible are generated when mapping from ASN.1 to ASCII, to facilitate user recognition. object-identifier ::= oid-comp object-identifier | oid-comp oid-comp ::= [ key-string ] "(" numericstring ")" An example representation of an object identifier is: joint-iso-ccitt(2) mhs (6) ipms (1) ep (11) ia5-text (0) or (2) (6) (1)(11)(0) Because of the use of brackets and the conflict with the RFC 822 | comment convention, this syntax is not used in structures fields. 3.4. Encoding ASCII in Printable String Some information in RFC 822 is represented in ASCII, and needs to be mapped into X.400 elements encoded as printable string. For this reason, a mechanism to represent ASCII encoded as PrintableString is needed. A structured subset of EBNF.printablestring is now defined. This shall be used to encode ASCII in the PrintableString character set. ps-encoded = *( ps-restricted-char / ps-encoded-char ) ps-encoded-char = "(a)" ; (@) / "(p)" ; (%) / "(b)" ; (!) / "(q)" ; (") / "(u)" ; (_) / "(l)" ; "(" / "(r)" ; ")" / "(" 3DIGIT ")" The 822.3DIGIT in EBNF.ps-encoded-char must have range 0-127, and Kille [page 40] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 is interpreted in decimal as the corresponding ASCII character. Special encodings are given for: at sign (@), percent (%), exclamation mark/bang (!), double quote ("), underscore (_), left bracket ((), and right bracket ()). These characters, with the exception of round brackets, are not included in PrintableString, but are common in RFC 822 addresses. The abbreviations will ease specification of RFC 822 addresses from an X.400 system. These special encodings shall be interpreted in a case insensitive manner, but always generated in lower case. A reversible mapping between PrintableString and ASCII can now be defined. The reversibility means that some values of printable string (containing round braces) cannot be generated from ASCII. Therefore, this mapping must only be used in cases where the printable strings may only be derived from ASCII (and will therefore have a restricted domain). For example, in this specification, it is only applied to a Domain Defined Attribute which will have been generated by use of this specification and a value such as "(" would not be possible. To encode ASCII as PrintableString, the EBNF.ps-encoded syntax is used, with all EBNF.ps-restricted-char mapped directly. All other 822.CHAR are encoded as EBNF.ps-encoded-char. To encode PrintableString as ASCII, parse PrintableString as EBNF.ps-encoded, and then reverse the previous mapping. If the PrintableString cannot be parsed, then the mapping is being applied in to an inappropriate value, and an error shall be given to the procedure doing the mapping. In some cases, it may be preferable to pass the printable string through unaltered. Some examples are now given. Note the arrows which indicate asymmetrical mappings: PrintableString ASCII 'a demo.' <-> 'a demo.' foo(a)bar <-> foo@bar (q)(u)(p)(q) <-> "_%" (a) <-> @ (A) -> @ (l)a(r) <-> (a) (126) <-> ~ ( -> ( Kille [page 41] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 (l) <-> ( 3.5. RFC 1522 RFC 1522 defines a mechanism for encoding other character set information into elements of RFC 822 Headers. A gateway may ignore this encoding and treat the elements as ASCII. A preferred approach is for the gateway to interpret the RFC 1522 encoding. This will not always be straightforward, because: 1. RFC 1522 permits an openly extensible character set choice, which may be broader than T.61. 2. It may not be possible to map all characters into the equivalent X.400 field. RFC 1522 is only applied to fields which are "for information only". A gateway which interprets header elements according to RFC 1522 may apply reasonable heuristics to minimise information loss. Kille [page 42] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Chapter 4 - Addressing and Message IDs Addressing is the most complex aspect of X.400 <-> RFC 822 gateway and is therefore given a separate chapter. This chapter also discusses message identifiers, as they are closely linked to addresses. This chapter, as a side effect, also defines a textual representation of an X.400 O/R Address. This specification has much similarity to the X.400(92) representation of addresses. This was because early versions of this specification were a major input to this work. This specification retains compatibility with earlier versions. The | the X.400 specification of address representation can be parsed | but is not generated. Initially we consider an address in the (human) mail user sense of "what is typed at the mailsystem to reference a mail user". A basic RFC 822 address is defined by the EBNF EBNF.822-address: 822-address = [ route ] addr-spec In SMTP (or another 822-MTS protocol), the originator and each | recipient are considered to be defined by such a construct. In an RFC 822 header, the EBNF.822-address is encapsulated in the 822.address syntax rule, and there may also be associated comments. None of this extra information has any semantics, other than to the end user. The basic X.400 O/R Address, used by the MTS for routing, is defined by MTS.ORAddress. In IPMS, the MTS.ORAddress is encapsulated within IPMS.ORDescriptor. It can be seen that RFC 822 822.address must be mapped with IPMS.ORDescriptor, and that RFC 822 EBNF.822-address must be mapped with MTS.ORAddress. Section 4.1 defines a textual representation of an O/R Address, which is used throughout the rest of this specification. This text representation is designed to represent an X.400 address in the LHS (local part) of an RFC 822 address, and so this representation gives a mechanism to represent X.400 | addresses within RFC 822 addresses. Kille [page 43] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Section 4.2 describes a global equivalence mapping between parts of the X.400 and RFC 822 name spaces, which gateways conforming to this specification must support. Section 4.3 is the core part of this chapter, and defines the mapping mechanism. 4.1. A textual representation of MTS.ORAddress MTS.ORAddress is structured as a set of attribute value pairs. It is clearly necessary to be able to encode this in ASCII for gatewaying purposes. All components shall be encoded, in order to guarantee return of error messages, and to optimise third party replies. 4.1.1. Basic O/R Address Representation An O/R Address has a number of structured and unstructured attributes. For each unstructured attribute, a key and an encoding is specified. For structured attributes, the X.400 attribute is mapped onto one or more attribute value pairs. For domain defined attributes, each element of the sequence will be mapped onto a triple (key and two values), with each value having the same encoding. The attributes are as follows, with 1984 attributes given in the first part of the table. For each attribute, a reference is given, consisting of the relevant sections in X.402 / ISO 10021-2, and the extension identifier for 88 only attributes: Attribute (Component) Key Enc Ref Id 84/88 Attributes MTS.CountryName C P 18.3.3 MTS.AdministrationDomainName ADMD P 18.3.1 MTS.PrivateDomainName PRMD P 18.3.21 MTS.NetworkAddress X121 N 18.3.7 MTS.TerminalIdentifier T-ID P 18.3.23 MTS.OrganizationName O P/T 18.3.9 MTS.OrganizationalUnitNames.value OU P/T 18.3.10 MTS.NumericUserIdentifier UA-ID N 18.3.8 MTS.PersonalName PN P/T 18.3.12 MTS.PersonalName.surname S P/T 18.3.12 Kille [page 44] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 MTS.PersonalName.given-name G P/T 18.3.12 MTS.PersonalName.initials I P/T 18.3.12 MTS.PersonalName .generation-qualifier GQ P/T 18.3.12 MTS.DomainDefinedAttribute.value DD P/T 18.1 88 Attributes MTS.CommonName CN P/T 18.3.2 1 MTS.TeletexCommonName CN P/T 18.3.2 2 MTS.TeletexOrganizationName O P/T 18.3.9 3 MTS.TeletexPersonalName PN P/T 18.3.12 4 MTS.TeletexPersonalName.surname S P/T 18.3.12 4 MTS.TeletexPersonalName.given-name G P/T 18.3.12 4 MTS.TeletexPersonalName.initials I P/T 18.3.12 4 MTS.TeletexPersonalName .generation-qualifier GQ P/T 18.3.12 4 MTS.TeletexOrganizationalUnitNames .value OU P/T 18.3.10 5 MTS.TeletexDomainDefinedAttribute .value DD P/T 18.1 6 MTS.PDSName PD-SERVICE P 18.3.11 7 MTS.PhysicalDeliveryCountryName PD-C P 18.3.13 8 MTS.PostalCode PD-CODE P 18.3.19 9 MTS.PhysicalDeliveryOfficeName PD-OFFICE P/T 18.3.14 10 MTS.PhysicalDeliveryOfficeNumber PD-OFFICE-NUM P/T 18.3.15 11 MTS.ExtensionORAddressComponents PD-EXT-ADDRESS P/T 18.3.4 12 MTS.PhysicalDeliveryPersonName PD-PN P/T 18.3.17 13 MTS.PhysicalDeliveryOrganizationName PD-O P/T 18.3.16 14 MTS.ExtensionPhysicalDelivery AddressComponents PD-EXT-DELIVERY P/T 18.3.5 15 MTS.UnformattedPostalAddress PD-ADDRESS UPA 18.3.25 16| MTS.StreetAddress PD-STREET P/T 18.3.22 17 MTS.PostOfficeBoxAddress PD-BOX P/T 18.3.18 18 MTS.PosteRestanteAddress PD-RESTANTE P/T 18.3.20 19 MTS.UniquePostalName PD-UNIQUE P/T 18.3.26 20 MTS.LocalPostalAttributes PD-LOCAL P/T 18.3.6 21 MTS.ExtendedNetworkAddress .e163-4-address.number NET-NUM N 18.3.7 22 MTS.ExtendedNetworkAddress .e163-4-address.sub-address NET-SUB N 18.3.7 22 MTS.ExtendedNetworkAddress .psap-address NET-PSAP X 18.3.7 22 MTS.TerminalType T-TY I 18.3.24 23 Kille [page 45] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 The following keys identify different EBNF encodings, which are associated with the ASCII representation of MTS.ORAddress. Key Encoding P printablestring N numericstring T teletex-string P/T teletex-and-or-ps UPA upa-string | I labelled-integer X presentation-address The BNF for presentation-address is taken from the specification RFC 1278 "A String Encoding of Presentation Address" [24]. In most cases, the EBNF encoding maps directly to the ASN.1 encoding of the attribute. There are a few exceptions. In cases where an attribute can be encoded as either a PrintableString or NumericString (Country, ADMD, PRMD), either form is mapped into the BNF. When generating ASN.1, the NumericString encoding shall | be used if the string contains digits and only digits. There are a number of cases where the P/T (teletex-and-or-ps) representation is used. Where the key maps to a single attribute, this choice is reflected in the encoding of the attribute (attributes 10-21). For most of the 1984 attributes and common name, there is a printablestring and a teletex variant. This pair of attributes is mapped onto the single component here. This will give a clean mapping for the common cases where only one form of the name is used. | The Unformatted Postal Address has a slightly more complex | mapping onto a variant of (teletex-and-or-ps), defined as: | upa-string = [ printable-upa ] [ "*" teletex-string ] printable-upa = printablestring *( "|" printablestring ) The optional teletex part is straightforward. There is an | (optional) sequence of printable strings which are mapped in | order. For example: | /PD-ADDRESS=The Dome|The Square|Richmond|England/ Kille [page 46] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 X.400 (1992) has introduced as string representation of O/R Addresses. This has specified a number of string keywords for attributes. As earlier versions of this specification were an | input to this work, many of the keywords are the same. To increase compatibility, the following alternative values shall be recognised when mapping from RFC 822 to X.400. These shall not be generated when mapping from X.400 to RFC 822. Keyword Alternative ADMD A PRMD P GQ Q X121 X.121 UA-ID N-ID PD-OFFICE-NUM PD-OFFICE NUMBER PD-OFFICE-NUM PD-OFN PD-EXT-ADDRESS PD-EA PD-EXT-DELIVERY PD-ED PD-OFFICE PD-OF PD-STREET PD-S PD-UNIQUE PD-U PD-LOCAL PD-L PD-RESTANTE PD-R PD-BOX PD-B PD-CODE PD-PC PD-SERVICE PD-SN DD DDA When mapping from RFC 822 to X.400, the keywords: OU1, OU2, OU3, and OU4, shall be recognised. If these are present, no keyword OU shall be present. These will be treated as ordered values of OU. PD-A1, PD-A2, PD-A3, PD-A4, PD-A5, PD-A6 shall be treated as ordered lines. If present, these will be assembled with separating line feeds to form a single physical address. In this case PD-ADDRESS shall not be present. If ISDN is present, is may be interpreted as an E.163/164 address, using local heuristics to parse the string. X.400 defines the key, but does not give an interpretation of the value. For T-TY, the X.400 recommended values are preferred, but other values are allowed. These values are: tlx (3); ttx (4); | Kille [page 47] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 g3fax (5); g4fax (6); ia5 (7); and vtx (8). 4.1.2. Encoding of Personal Name Handling of Personal Name and Teletex Personal Name based purely on the EBNF.standard-type syntax defined above is likely to be clumsy. It seems desirable to utilise the "human" conventions for encoding these components. A syntax is defined, which is designed to provide a clean encoding for the common cases of O/R Address specification where: 1. There is no generational qualifier 2. Initials, if present, contain only letters 3. Given Name, if present, does not contain full stop ("."), and is at least two characters long. 4. Surname does not contain full stop in the first two characters. 5 If Surname is the only component, it does not contain full stop. The following EBNF is defined: encoded-pn = [ given "." ] *( initial "." ) surname given = 2* initial = ALPHA surname = printablestring This is used to map from any string containing only printable string characters to an O/R address personal name. To map from a string to O/R Address components, parse the string according to the EBNF. The given name and surname are assigned directly. All EBNF.initial tokens are concatenated without intervening full stops to generate the initials component. For an O/R address which follows the above restrictions, a string is derived in the natural manner. In this case, the Kille [page 48] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 mapping will be reversible. For example: GivenName = "Marshall" Surname = "Rose" Maps with "Marshall.Rose" Initials = "MT" Surname = "Rose" Maps with "M.T.Rose" GivenName = "Marshall" Initials = "MT" Surname = "Rose" Maps with "Marshall.M.T.Rose" Note that X.400 suggests that Initials is used to encode ALL | initials. Therefore, the defined encoding is "natural" when either GivenName or Initials, but not both, are present. The | case where both are present can be encoded. 4.1.3. Standard Encoding of MTS.ORAddress Given this structure, we can specify a BNF representation of an | O/R Address. The output format of addresses is defined by | EBNF.std-or-address. The more flexible input format is defined | by EBNF.std-or-address-input. The input BNF has been added | subsequent to RFC 1327, to reflect the formal incorporation of a | number of heuristics. The output format is used in all examples. std-or-address = 1*( "/" attribute "=" value ) "/" | attribute = standard-type | / "RFC-822" | / registered-dd-type | / dd-key "." std-printablestring | Kille [page 49] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 std-or-address-input = ( sep ) (pair) *( sep pair ) ( sep) | sep = "/" / ";" | pair = input-attribute "=" value | input-attribute = attribute | / dd-key ":" std-printablestring | standard-type = key-string registered-dd-type = key-string dd-key = key-string value = std-printablestring std-printablestring = *( std-char / std-pair ) std-char = <"{", "}", "*", and any ps-char | except "/" and "=" > std-pair = "$" ps-char The standard-type is any key defined in the table in Section 4.2, except PN, and DD. The BNF leads to a set of attribute/value pairs. The value is interpreted according to the EBNF encoding defined in the table. If the standard-type is PN, the value is interpreted according to EBNF.encoded-pn, and the components of MTS.PersonalName and/or MTS.TeletexPersonalName derived accordingly. If dd-key is the recognised Domain Defined string (DD), then the type and value are interpreted according to the syntax implied from the encoding, and aligned to either the teletex or printable string form. Key and value shall have the same encoding. If value is "RFC-822", then the (printable string) Domain Defined Type of "RFC-822" is assumed. This is an optimised encoding of the domain defined type defined by this specification. The matching of all keywords shall be done in a case- Kille [page 50] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 independent manner. EBNF.std-or-address uses the characters "/" and "=" as delimiters. Domain Defined Attributes and any value may contain these characters. A quoting mechanism, using the non-printable string "$" is used to allow these characters to be represented. If the value is registered-dd-type, and the value is registered at the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) as an accepted Domain Defined Attribute type, then the value shall be interpreted accordingly. This restriction maximises the syntax checking which can be done at a gateway. | If an address of this syntax is parsed, and a country value | is present, but no ADMD, the string shall be interpreted as is an | ADMD value of single space had been specified. 4.2. Global Address Mapping From a user perspective, the ideal mapping would be entirely symmetrical and global, to enable addresses to be referred to transparently in the remote system, with the choice of gateway being left to the Message Transfer Service. There are two fundamental reasons why this is not possible: 1. The syntaxes are sufficiently different to make this impossible. 2 There is insufficient administrative co-operation between the X.400 and RFC 822 name registration authorities for this to work. Another way to view this situation is to see that there is not a full global equivalence between X.400 and RFC 822 addressing. To meet user needs to the extent possible, this specification provides for equivalence where there is sufficient co-operation. To be useful, this equivalence must be recognised and interpreted in the same way by all gateways. Therefore, an asymmetrical mapping is defined, which can be symmetrical where there is appropriate administrative co-operation. Section 4.3 describes consider the asymetrical aspects. This section describes how the administrative co-ordination for symmetrical mappings is achieved. Kille [page 51] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 In order to achieve a symmetrical mapping which is supported by all gateways which conform to this specification, there is a need to define an administrative equivalence between parts of the O/R Address and Domain namespaces. This information is defined globally, and must be used by any gateway which conforms to this specification. Currently, three ways are defined to access this mapping information. 1. Distribution of text tables. This is described in Appendix F of this specification. 2. Distribution by Domain Name Service. This is described in RFC 1664 [4]. 3. Distribution by X.500 Directory Service. This is defined in RFC tbs [27]. The following sections define how the namespace equivalence is modelled. The Internet Domain Namespace defines a simple hierarchy. For the purposes of this mapping, only parts of the namespace where domains conform to the EBNF domain-syntax are allowed. domain-syntax = alphanum [ *alphanumhyphen alphanum ] alphanum = alphanumhyphen = Although RFC 822 allows for a more general syntax, this restricted syntax is chosen as it is the one chosen by the various domain service administrations. In practice, it reflects all RFC 822 usage. The following O/R Address attributes are considered as a hierarchy, and may be specified by the domain. They are (in order of the hierarchy defined by MIXER): Country, ADMD, PRMD, Organization, Organizational Unit There may be multiple Organizational Units. This hierarchy reflects most usage of X.400, although X.400 may be used in other ways. In particular, it covers the Mnemonic O/R Address using a 1984 compatible encoding. This is seen as the dominant form of O/R Address. MIXER equivalence mappings may only be used when Kille [page 52] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 this hierarchy applies. An equivalence mapping is defined between two nodes in the respective hierarchies. For example: => "AC.UK" might be mapped with C="GB", ADMD="GOLD 400", PRMD="UK.AC" The mapping identifies that the management of these points in the respective hierarchies is the same (or co-operate very closely). The equivalence means that the namespaces below this equivalence point map 1:1, except where the mapping is overridden by further equivalence mappings lower down the hierarchy. This equivalence may be achieved in three ways: 1. All of the nodes below this point are RFC 822, and the MIXER mapping defines the X.400 addresses for these nodes. 2. All of the nodes below this point are X.400, and the MIXER mapping defines the RFC 822 addresses for these nodes. 3. There are X.400 and RFC 822 nodes below this point, and addressing is managed in a manner which ensures the equivalence. The rules to achieve this are defined by MIXER. A set of global mappings to enable a clean transformation between the X.400 and RFC 822 namespaces is therefore defined by deployment of MIXER. When an equivalence point is defined, a systematic mapping for the the inferior nodes in the two hierarchies follows. This is a 1:1 the mapping between the nodes in the subtrees. For example, given the the equivalence defined above: the domain "R-D.Salford.AC.UK" algorithmically maps with C="GB", ADMD="GOLD 400", PRMD="UK.AC", O="Salford", OU="R-D" Note that when an equivalence is defined, that this can be re- defined for lower points in the hierarchy. However, it is not possible to declare contained subtrees to be un-mappable. The equivalence mapping also provides a mechanism to deal | Kille [page 53] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 with missing elements in the X.400 hierarchy (most commonly the PRMD). A domain may be associated with an omitted attribute in conjunction with several present ones. When performing the algorithmic insertion of components lower in the hierarchy, the omitted value shall be skipped. For example: If the domain HNE.EGM" is mapped with "C=TC", "ADMD=ECQ", "PRMD=HNE", and omitted organization then "ZI.HNE.EGM" is algorithmically mapped with "C=TC", "ADMD=ECQ", "PRMD=HNE", "OU=ZI" Attributes may have null values, and this is treated separately from omitted attributes (while it is not ideal to make this distinction, it is useful in practice). 4.2.1. Directory and Nameserve Mappings | When the global mapping is supported by X.500 or DNS, there is the possibility that results will be indeterminate due to timeout. Lookup should be repeated until a value is determined, in order to maintain a correct and consistent global mapping. | Where the mapping relates to addresses in the message | header, there shall be a timeout in the range of 1-4 hours. If | a mapping cannot be done in this time, address encapsulation | shall be used. 4.3. EBNF.822-address <-> MTS.ORAddress This section defines the basic address mapping. 4.3.1. X.400 encoded in RFC 822 This section defines how X.400 addresses are represented in RFC 822 the addresses. The std-or-address syntax is used to encode O/R Address information in the 822.local-part of EBNF.822-address. Where there is an applicable equivalence mapping, further O/R Address information is associated with the 822.domain component. This cannot be used in the general case, due to character set Kille [page 54] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 problems, and to the variants of X.400 O/R Addresses which use different attribute types. The only way to encode the full PrintableString character set in a domain is by use of the 822.domain-ref syntax (i.e. 822.atom). This is likely to cause problems on many systems. The effective character set of domains is in practice reduced from the RFC 822 set, by restrictions imposed by domain conventions and policy [10], and by the BNF | definition in SMTP. A generic 822.address consists of a 822.local-part and a sequence of 822.domains (e.g., <@domain1,@domain2:user@domain3>). All except the 822.domain associated with the 822.local-part (domain3 in this case) are considered to specify routing within the RFC 822 world, and will not be interpreted by the gateway (although they may have identified the gateway from within the RFC 822 world). The 822.domain associated with the 822.local-part identifies the gateway from within the RFC 822 world. This final 822.domain may be used to determine some number of O/R Address attributes, where this does not conflict with the first role. RFC 822 routing to gateways will usually be set up to facilitate the 822.domain being used for both purposes. In the case that there is no applicable equivalence mapping, all of the X.400 address is encoded in the 822.local-part and the | the 822.domain identifies the gateway to which the message is being sent. This technique may be used by the RFC 822 user for | any X.400 address where the equivalence mapping is not known. In the case that there is an applicable equivalence mapping, the the maximum number of attributes are encoded in the 822.domain. The remaining attributes are encoded on the LHS, using the EBNF.std-or-address syntax. For example: /I=J/S=Linnimouth/GQ=5/@Marketing.Widget.COM encodes the MTS.ORAddress consisting of: Kille [page 55] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 MTS.CountryName = "TC" MTS.AdministrationDomainName = "BTT" MTS.OrganizationName = "Widget" MTS.OrganizationalUnitNames.value = "Marketing" MTS.PersonalName.surname = "Linnimouth" MTS.PersonalName.initials = "J" MTS.PersonalName.generation-qualifier = "5" on the basis of an equivalence between: Domain: Widget.COM O/R Address: C="TC", ADMD="BTT", O="Widget" Given the O/R address, the domain Widget.COM is determined from the the equivalence mapping and the next component is determined algorithmically to give Marketing.Widget.COM. The remaining attributes are encoded on the LHS in 822.local-part. There is a further mechanism to simplify the encoding of common cases, where the only attributes to be encoded on the LHS | are (non-Teletex) Personal Name attributes which comply with the restrictions of 4.2.1. To achieve this, the 822.local-part shall be encoded as EBNF.encoded-pn. In the previous example, if the GenerationQualifier was not present in the O/R Address, it would map with the RFC 822 address: J.Linnimouth@Marketing.Widget.COM. From the standpoint of the RFC 822 Message Transfer System, the domain specification is used to route the message in the standard manner. The standard domain mechanisms are used to select appropriate gateways for the corresponding O/R Address space. It is the responsibility of the management that defines the equivalence mapping to define routing in a the manner which will enable the message to be delivered. 4.3.2. RFC 822 encoded in X.400 The previous section showed a mapping from X.400 to RFC 822. In the case where the mapping was symmetrical and based on the the equivalence mapping, this has also shown how RFC 822 is encoded in the X.400. This equivalence cannot be used for all RFC 822 addresses. The general case is mapped by use of domain defined Kille [page 56] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 attributes. A Domain defined type "RFC-822" is defined. The associated attribute value is an ASCII string encoded according to Section 3.3.3 of this specification. The interpretation of the ASCII string follows RFC 822, and RFC 1123 [10,16]. Domains shall always be fully qualified. Other O/R Address attributes will be used to identify a context in which the O/R Address will be interpreted. This might be a Management Domain, or some part of a Management Domain which identifies a gateway MTA. For example: C = "GB" ADMD = "GOLD 400" PRMD = "UK.AC" O = "UCL" OU = "CS" "RFC-822" = "Jimmy(a)WIDGET-LABS.CO.UK" OR C = "TC" ADMD = "Wizz.mail" PRMD = "42" "rfc-822" = "postel(a)venera.isi.edu" Note in each case the PrintableString encoding of "@" as "(a)". In the second example, the "RFC-822" domain defined attribute is interpreted everywhere within the (Private) Management Domain. In the first example, further attributes are needed within the Management Domain to identify a gateway. Thus, this scheme can be used with varying levels of Management Domain co-operation. There is a limit of 128 characters in the length of value of a domain defined attribute, and an O/R Address can have a maxmimum of four domain defined attributes. Where the printable string generated from the RFC 822 address exceeds this value, additional domain defined attributes are used to enable up to 512 characters to be encoded. These attributes shall be filled completely before the next one is started. The DDA keywords are: RFC822C1; RFC822C2; RFC822C3. Longer addresses cannot be encoded. There is, analogous with 4.3.1, a means to associate parts of the O/R Address hierarchy with domains. There is an analogous Kille [page 57] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 global mapping, which in most cases will be the inverse of the domain to O/R address mapping. The mapping is maintained separately, as there may be differences (e.g., two alternate domain names map to the same set of O/R address components). 4.3.3. Component Ordering In most cases, ordering of O/R Address components is not significant for the mappings specified. However, Organizational Units (printable string and teletex forms) and Domain Defined Attributes are specified as SEQUENCE in MTS.ORAddress, and so their order may be significant. This specification needs to take account of this: 1. To allow consistent mapping into the domain hierarchy 2. To ensure preservation of order over multiple mappings. There are three places where an order is specified: 1. The text encoding (std-or-address) of MTS.ORAddress as used in the local-part of an RFC 822 address. An order is needed for those components which may have multiple values (Organizational Unit, and Domain Defined Attributes). When generating an 822.std-or-address, components of a given type shall be in hierarchical order with the most significant component on the RHS. If there is an Organization Attribute, it shall be to the right of any Organizational Unit attributes. These requirements are for the following reasons: - Alignment to the hierarchy of other components in RFC 822 addresses (thus, Organizational Units will appear in the same order, whether encoded on the RHS or LHS). | - Backwards compatibility with RFC 987/1026. - To ensure that gateways generate consistent addresses. This is both to help end users, and to generate identical message ids. Further, it is recommended that all other attributes are generated according to this ordering, so that all attributes so encoded follow a consistent hierarchy. When generating Kille [page 58] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 822.msg-id, this order shall be followed. 2. For the Organizational Units (OU) in MTS.ORAddress, the first OU in the SEQUENCE is the most significant, as specified in X.400. 3. For the Domain Defined Attributes in MTS.ORAddress, the First Domain Defined Attribute in the SEQUENCE is the most significant. Note that although this ordering is mandatory for this mapping, there are NO implications on ordering significance within X.400, where this is a Management Domain issue. 4.3.4. RFC 822 -> X.400 Basic Address Mapping There are two basic cases: 1. X.400 addresses encoded in RFC 822. This will also include RFC 822 addresses which are given reversible encodings. 2. "Genuine" RFC 822 addresses. The mapping shall proceed as follows, by first assuming case 1). STAGE I. 1. If the 822-address is not of the form: local-part "@" domain take the domain which will be routed on and apply step 2 of stage 1 to derive (a possibly null) set of attributes. Then go to stage II. NOTE:It may be appropriate to reduce a source route address to this form by removal of all bar the last domain. In terms of the design intentions of RFC 822, this would | be an incorrect action. (Note that a an address of the | form local%part@domain is not a source route). However, in most real cases, it will do the "right" thing and provide a better service to the end user. This is a reflection on the excessive and inappropriate use of source routing in RFC 822 based systems, despite Kille [page 59] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 the discussion in the Host Requirements [10]. Either approach, or the intermediate approach of stripping only domain references which reference the local gateway are conformant to this specification. 2. Attempt to parse EBNF.domain as: *( domain-syntax "." ) known-domain Where EBNF.known-domain is the longest possible match in the set of globally defined mappings described in Section 4.2. EBNF.domain-syntax is the restricted domain syntax defined in Section 4.2, to which all of the domain components must conform for the parse to be successful. If this fails, and the EBNF.domain does not explicitly identify the local gateway, go to stage II. Otherwise no gateway is explicitly | identified and all of the information is used by the local gateway. In this case allocate the attributes associated with EBNF.known-domain. For each component, systematically allocate the attribute implied by each EBNF.domain-syntax component in the order: C, ADMD, PRMD, O, OU. Note that if the mapping used identifies an "omitted attribute", then this attribute should be omitted in the systematic allocation. If this new component exceed an upper bound (ADMD: 16; PRMD: 16; O: 64; OU: 32) or it would lead to more than four OUs, then go to stage II with the attributes derived. At this stage, a set of attributes has been derived, which will give appropriate routing within X.400. If any of the later steps of Stage I force use of Stage II, then these attributes should be used in Stage II. | 3. If the 822.local-part uses the 822.quoted-string encoding, remove this quoting. If this unquoted 822.local-part has leading space, trailing space, or two adjacent spaces go to stage II. 4. If the unquoted 822.local-part contains any characters not in PrintableString, go to stage II. Kille [page 60] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 5. Parse the (unquoted) 822.local-part according to the EBNF EBNF.std-or-address. Checking of upper bounds should not be done at this point. If this parse fails, parse the local- part according to the EBNF EBNF.encoded-pn. If this parse fails, go to stage II. The result is a set of type/value pairs. If the set of attributes leads to an address of any form other than mnemonic form, then only these attributes should be taken. If (for mnemonic form) the values generated conflict with those derived in step 2 (e.g., a duplicated country attribute), the domain is assumed to be a remote gateway. In this case, take only the LHS derived attributes, together with any RHS derived attributes which are more significant than the most significant attribute which is duplicated (e.g., if there is a duplicate PRMD, but no LHS derived ADMD and country, then the ADMD and country should be taken from the RHS). Otherwise add LHS and RHS derived attributes together. 6. Associate the EBNF.attribute-value syntax (determined from the identified type) with each value, and check that it conforms. If not, go to stage II. 7. Ensure that the set of attributes conforms both to the MTS.ORAddress specification and to the restrictions on this set given in X.400, and that no upper bounds are exceeded for any attribute. If not go to stage II. 8. Build the O/R Address from this information. STAGE II. This will only be reached if the RFC 822 EBNF.822-address is not a valid X.400 encoding. This implies that the address must refer to a recipient on an RFC 822 system. Such addresses shall be encoded in an X.400 O/R Address using a domain defined attribute. 1. Convert the EBNF.822-address to PrintableString, as specified in Chapter 3. 2. Generate the "RFC-822" domain defined attribute from this string. 3. Build the rest of the O/R Address in the manner described Kille [page 61] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 below. It may not be possible to encode the domain defined attribute due to length restrictions. If the limit is exceeded by a mapping at the MTS level, then the gateway shall reject the message in question. If this occurs at the IPMS level, then the action will depend on the policy being taken for IPMS encoding, which is discussed in Section 5.1.3. If Stage I has identified a set of attributes, use these to build the remainder of the address. The administrative equivalence of the mappings will ensure correct routing through X.400 to a gateway back to RFC 822. If Stage I has not identified a set of attributes, the remainder of the O/R address effectively identifies a source route to a gateway from the X.400 side. There are three cases, which are handled differently: | SMTP Return Address | This shall be set up so that errors are returned through the same gateway. Therefore, the O/R Address of the local gateway shall be used. IPMS Addresses These are optimised for replying. In general, the message may end up anywhere within the X.400 world, and so this optimisation identifies a gateway appropriate for the RFC 822 address being converted. The 822.domain to which the address would be routed is used to select an appropriate gateway. A globally defined set of mappings is used, which identifies (the O/R Address components of) appropriate gateways for parts of the domain namespace. The longest possible match on the 822.domain defines which gateway to use, according to the equivalence mappings defined in Section 4.2. This global mapping is used for parts of the RFC 822 namespace which do not have an administrative equivalence with any part of the X.400 namespace, but for which it is desirable to identify a preferred X.400 gateway in order to optimise routing. If no mapping is found for the 822.domain, a default value Kille [page 62] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 (typically that of the local gateway) is used. It is never appropriate to ignore the globally defined mappings. In some cases, it may be appropriate to locally override the globally defined mappings (e.g., to identify a gateway close to a recipient of the message). This is likely to be where the global mapping identifies a public gateway, and the local gateway has an agreement with a private gateway which it prefers to use. | SMTP Recipient | As the RFC 822 and X.400 worlds are in principle fully connected, there should be no technical reason for this situation to occur. In practice, this is not the case. In | some cases, routing may be configured to use X.400 to | connect an RFC 822 island to the Internet. The information that this part of the domain space should be routed by X.400 rather than remaining within the RFC 822 world will be configured privately into the gateway in question. The O/R address shall then be generated in the same manner as for an IPMS address, using the globally defined mappings. It is to support this case that the definition of the global domain to gateway mapping is important, as the use of this mapping will lead to a remote X.400 address, which can be routed by X.400 routing procedures. The information in this mapping shall not be used as a basis for deciding to convert a message from RFC 822 to X.400. Two examples are given: Example 1: (Address not in "localpart" "@" "domainpart") @relay.co.uk:userb@host2 maps to c=gb; a= ; p=uk.ac; o=mhs-relay; dd.rfc-822=(a)relay.co.uk:userb(a)host2; Example 2: (Address with non printablestring characters) Tom_Harris@cs.widget.com maps to c=us; a=MCI; P=relay; dd.rfc-822=Tom(u)Harris(a)cs.widget.com; Kille [page 63] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 4.3.4.1. Heuristics for mapping RFC 822 to X.400 The following heuristic, which relates to ordering of address | components, may be used when mapping from RFC 822 to X.400. The ordering of attributes may be inverted or mixed. For this reason, the following heuristics may be applied: 6. If there is an Organization attribute to the left of any Org Unit attribute, assume that the hierarchy is inverted. This is to facilitate the situation where a user has input the attributes in reverse hierarchical order. To do this the gateway shall first map according to the order defined in 4.3.3. If this mapping generates an address which X.400 address verification shows to be invalid, this heuristic may be applied as an alternative to immediate rejection of the address. 4.3.5. X.400 -> RFC 822 Basic Address Mapping There are two basic cases: 1. RFC 822 addresses encoded in X.400. 2. "Genuine" X.400 addresses. This may include symmetrically encoded RFC 822 addresses. When a MTS Recipient O/R Address is interpreted, gatewaying will be selected if there is a single "RFC-822" domain defined | attribute present. In this case, use mapping A and in other | cases, use mapping B. | RFC 1327 specified that this should only be done when the | gateway identfied is local or otherwise known, and identified the | approach specified here as a pragmatic option. Experience has | shown that this is effective in practice, despite theoretical | problems. | If a gateway wishes to make a mapping in a manner similar to | RFC 1327, but does not wish for this global interpretation (e.g., | to support an RFC 822 local systems, which does not use global | addressing), then it should choose a private domain defined | attribute, different to "RFC-822". An RFC 1327 gateway might be | configurable to operate in this manner. Kille [page 64] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Mapping A * 1. Map the domain defined attribute value to ASCII, as defined in Chapter 3, and drop all other attributes. Mapping B. This is used for X.400 addresses which do not use the explicit RFC 822 encoding. 1. For all string encoded attributes, remove any leading or trailing spaces, and replace adjacent spaces with a single space. The only attribute which is permitted to have zero length is the ADMD. This should be mapped onto a single space. These transformations are for lookup only. If an EBNF.std-or-address mapping is used as in 4), then the original values should be used. 2. Map numeric country codes to the two letter values (as | defined in ISO 3166). 3. Noting the hierarchy specified in 4.3.1 and including omitted attributes, determine the maximum set of attributes which have an associated domain specification in the globally defined mapping. If no match is found, allocate | the domain as described below, and go to step 5. The default | domain to be used is the specification of the local gateway. | A gateway may use other domains according to private mapping | tables or heuristics. For example, it may choose a domain | which it knows to provide a free gateway service to the | mapped address. In cases where the address refers to an X.400 UA, it is important that the generated domain will correctly route to a gateway. In general, this is achieved by carefully co- ordinating RFC 822 routing with the definition of the global mappings, as there is no easy way for the gateway to make this check. One rule that shall be used is that domains with only one component will not route to a gateway. If the generated domain does not route correctly, the address is treated as if no match is found. Kille [page 65] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 4. The mapping identified in 3) gives a domain, and an O/R address prefix. Follow the hierarchy: C, ADMD, PRMD, O, OU. For each successive component below the O/R address prefix, which conforms to the syntax EBNF.domain-syntax (as defined in 4.3.1), allocate the next subdomain. At least one attribute of the X.400 address shall not be mapped onto subdomain, as 822.local-part cannot be null. If there are omitted attributes in the O/R address prefix, these will have correctly and uniquely mapped to a domain component. Where there is an attribute omitted below the prefix, all attributes remaining in the O/R address shall be encoded on the LHS. This is to ensure a reversible mapping. For example, if there is an address /S=XX/O=YY/ADMD=A/C=NN/ and a mapping for /ADMD=A/C=NN/ is used, then /S=XX/O=YY/ is encoded on the LHS. 5. If the address contains any attribute not used in mnemonic form, then all of the attributes in the address should be encoded on the LHS in EBNF.std-or-address syntax, as described below. For addresses of mnemonic form, if the remaining components are personal-name components, conforming to the restrictions of 4.2.1, then EBNF.encoded-pn is derived to form 822.local-part. In other cases the remaining components are simply encoded as 822.local-part using the EBNF.std-or-address syntax. If necessary, the 822.quoted-string encoding is used. The following are examples of legal quoting: "a b".c@x; "a b.c"@x. Either form may be generated, but the latter is preferred. If the derived 822.local-part can only be encoded by use of 822.quoted-string, then use of the mapping defined in[19] may be appropriate. Use of this mapping is discouraged. | Editor's Note: | Can we remove the previous paragraph? Three examples are given. | Editor's Note: | I have had a lot of comments on the inaccuracy of these | examples. Are they worth retaining? If so, can they be | carefully verified. Kille [page 66] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Example 1: (Address with missing X.400 elements and no specific mapping rule for "o=sales; a=Master400; C=it", where a mapping | exsits for master400.it) C=it; A=Master400; O=sales; S=Support; | maps to /S=Support/o=sales/@Master400.it | Example 2: (Address with illegal characters in RFC822 generated domain if default hierarchical translation (specific mapping rule is existing for c=fr; a=atlas; p=autoroutes) is used) C=fr; A=atlas; P=autoroutes; O=Region Parisienne; S=rensignments; | maps to "/S=rensignments/o=Region Parisienne/"@autoroutes.fr | Example 3: (Address containing elements not mappable into RFC822 local part) C=it; A=PtPostel; DDA.cap=20100; DDA.ph1=Via Maggiore 11; DDAs.city=Milano; S=Rossi;| MAPS TO "/DD.Cap=20100/DD.ph1=Via Maggiore 11/DD.City=Milano/S=Rossi/"@ptpostel.it| 4.4. Repeated Mappings There are two types of repeated mapping: 1. A recursive mapping, where the repeat is within one gateway 2 A source route, where the repetition occurs across multiple gateways 4.4.1. Recursive Mappings It is possible to supply an address which is recursive at a single gateway. For example: C = "XX" ADMD = "YY" O = "ZZ" "RFC-822" = "Smith(a)ZZ.YY.XX" Kille [page 67] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 This is mapped first to an RFC 822 address, and then back to the X.400 address: C = "XX" ADMD = "YY" O = "ZZ" Surname = "Smith" In some situations this type of recursion may be frequent. It is important where this occurs, that no unnecessary protocol | conversion occurs. This will minimise loss of service. 4.4.2. Source Routes The mappings defined are symmetrical and reversible across a single gateway. The symmetry is particularly useful in cases of (mail exploder type) distribution list expansion. For example, an X.400 user sends to a list on an RFC 822 system which he belongs to. The received message will have the originator and any 3rd party X.400 O/R Addresses in correct format (rather than doubly encoded). In cases (X.400 or RFC 822) where there is common agreement on gateway identification, then this will apply to multiple gateways. When a message traverses multiple gateways, the mapping will always be reversible, in that a reply can be generated which will correctly reverse the path. In many cases, the mapping will also be symmetrical, which will appear clean to the end user. For example, if countries "AB" and "XY" have RFC 822 networks, but are interconnected by X.400, the following may happen: The originator specifies: Joe.Soap@Widget.PTT.XY This is routed to a gateway, which generates: C = "XY" ADMD = "PTT" PRMD = "Griddle MHS Providers" Organization = "Widget Corporation" Surname = "Soap" Given Name = "Joe" This is then routed to another gateway where the mapping is Kille [page 68] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 reversed to give: Joe.Soap@Widget.PTT.XY Here, use of the gateway is transparent. Mappings will only be symmetrical where mapping equivalences | are defined. In other cases, the reversibility is more important, due to the (far too frequent) cases where RFC 822 and X.400 services are partitioned. The syntax may be used to source route. THIS IS STRONGLY DISCOURAGED. For example: X.400 -> RFC 822 -> X.400 C = "UK" ADMD = "Gold 400" PRMD = "UK.AC" "RFC-822" = "/PN=Duval/DD.Title=Manager/(a)Inria.ATLAS.FR" This will be sent to an arbitrary UK Academic Community gateway by X.400. Then it will be sent by JNT Mail to another gateway determined by the domain Inria.ATLAS.FR (FR.ATLAS.Inria). This will then derive the X.400 O/R Address: C = "FR" ADMD = "ATLAS" PRMD = "Inria" PN.S = "Duval" "Title" = "Manager" Similarly: RFC 822 -> X.400 -> RFC 822 "/RFC-822=jj(a)seismo.css.gov/PRMD=AC/ADMD=BT/C=GB/"@monet.berkeley.edu This will be sent to monet.berkeley.edu by RFC 822, then to the AC PRMD by X.400, and then to jj@seismo.css.gov by RFC 822. 4.5. Directory Names Directory Names are an optional part of O/R Name, along with O/R Address. The RFC 822 addresses are mapped onto the O/R Address Kille [page 69] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 component. As there is no functional mapping for the Directory Name on the RFC 822 side, a textual mapping is used. There is no requirement for reversibility in terms of the goals of this specification. There may be some loss of functionality in terms of third party recipients where only a directory name is given, but this seems preferable to the significant extra complexity of adding a full mapping for Directory Names. The Directory Name shall be represented within an RFC 822 comment. Any reasonable format for representing the directory name may be used. It is recommended that the directory string format of RFC 1485 is used [25]. The User Friendly Name form of RFC 1484 may also be used [26]. 4.6. MTS Mappings The basic mappings at the MTS level are: 1) SMTP originator -> | MTS.PerMessageSubmissionFields.originator-name MTS.OtherMessageDeliveryFields.originator-name -> SMTP originator | 2) SMTP recipient -> | MTS.PerRecipientMessageSubmissionFields MTS.OtherMessageDeliveryFields.this-recipient-name -> SMTP recipient | SMTP recipients and return addresses are encoded as | EBNF.822-address. The MTS Originator is always encoded as MTS.OriginatorName, which maps onto MTS.ORAddressAndOptionalDirectoryName, which in turn maps onto MTS.ORName. 4.6.1. RFC 822 -> X.400 MTS Mappings From the SMTP Originator, use the basic ORAddress mapping, to | generate MTS.PerMessageSubmissionFields.originator-name (MTS.ORName), without a DirectoryName. For recipients, the following settings are made for each component of MTS.PerRecipientMessageSubmissionFields. Kille [page 70] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 recipient-name This is derived from the SMTP recipient by the basic | ORAddress mapping. originator-report-request This is be set according to content return policy, as discussed in Section 5.2. explicit-conversion This optional component is omitted, as this service is not needed extensions The default value (no extensions) is used 4.6.2. X.400 -> RFC 822 MTS Mappings The basic functionality is to generate the SMTP originator and | recipients. There is information present on the X.400 side, which cannot be mapped into analogous SMTP services. For this | reason, new RFC 822 fields are added for the MTS Originator and Recipients. The information discarded at the SMTP level will be | present in these fields. In some cases a (positive) delivery report will be generated. 4.6.2.1. SMTP Mappings | Use the basic ORAddress mapping, to generate the SMTP originator | (return address) from MTS.OtherMessageDeliveryFields.originator-name (MTS.ORName). If MTS.ORName.directory-name is present, it is discarded. (Note that it will be presented to the user, as described in 4.6.2.2). The mapping uses the MTA level information, and maps each | value of MTA.PerRecipientMessageTransferFields.recipient-name, | where the responsibility bit is set, onto an SMTP recipient. | Note:The SMTP recipient is conceptually generated from MTS.OtherMessageDeliveryFields.this-recipient-name. This is done by taking MTS.OtherMessageDeliveryFields.this-recipient-name, and | generating an SMTP recipient according to the basic | ORAddress mapping, discarding MTS.ORName.directory-name if present. However, if this model was followed exactly, there Kille [page 71] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 would be no possibility to have multiple SMTP recipients on | a single message. This is unacceptable, and so layering is violated. * 4.6.2.2. Generation of RFC 822 Headers Not all per-recipient information can be passed at the SMTP | level. For this reason, two new RFC 822 headers are created, in order to carry this information to the RFC 822 recipient. These fields are "X400-Originator:" and "X400-Recipients:". The "X400-Originator:" field is set to the same value as the | SMTP originator. In addition, if MTS.OtherMessageDeliveryFields.originator-name (MTS.ORName) contains MTS.ORName.directory-name then this Directory Name shall be represented in an 822.comment. Recipient names, taken from each value of MTS.OtherMessageDeliveryFields.this-recipient-name and MTS.OtherMessageDeliveryFields.other-recipient-names are made available to the RFC 822 user by use of the "X400-Recipients:" field. By taking the recipients at the MTS level, disclosure of recipients will be dealt with correctly. However, this conflicts with a desire to optimise mail transfer. There is no problem when disclosure of recipients is allowed. Similarly, there is no problem if there is only one RFC 822 recipient, as the "X400-Recipients" field is only given one address. There is a problem if there are multiple RFC 822 recipients, and disclosure of recipients is prohibited. In this case, | discard the per-recipient information, and insert a field: X400-Recipients: non-disclosure:; If any MTS.ORName.directory-name is present, it shall be * represented in an 822.comment. If MTS.OtherMessageDeliveryFields.orignally-intended-recipient-name is present, then there has been redirection, or there has been distribution list expansion. Distribution list expansion is a per-message option, and the information associated with this is represented by the "DL-Expansion-History:" field described in Kille [page 72] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Section 5.3.6. Other information is represented in an 822.comment associated associated with MTS.OtherMessageDeliveryFields.this-recipient-name, The message may be delivered to different RFC 822 recipients, and so several addresses in the "X400-Recipients:" field may have such comments. The non-commented recipient is the RFC 822 recipient. The EBNF of the comment is: redirect-comment = [ "Originally To:" ] mailbox "Redirected" [ "Again" ] "on" date-time "To:" redirection-reason redirection-reason = "Recipient Assigned Alternate Recipient" / "Originator Requested Alternate Recipient" / "Recipient MD Assigned Alternate Recipient" / "Recipient Directory Substitution Alternate Recipient" It is derived from MTA.PerRecipientMessageTransferFields.extension.redirection-history. An example of this is: X400-Recipients: postmaster@widget.com (Originally To: sales-manager@sales.widget.com Redirected on Thu, 30 May 91 14:39:40 +0100 To: Originator Assigned Alternate Recipient postmaster@sales.widget.com Redirected Again on Thu, 30 May 91 14:41:20 +0100 To: Recipient MD Assigned Alternate Recipient) In addition the following per-recipient services from MTS.OtherMessageDeliveryFields.extensions are represented in comments if they are used. None of these services can be provided on RFC 822 networks, and so in general these will be informative strings associated with other MTS recipients. In some cases, string values are defined. For the remainder, the string value shall be chosen by the implementor. If the parameter has a default value, then no comment shall be inserted when the parameter has that default value. requested-delivery-method Kille [page 73] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 physical-forwarding-prohibited "(Physical Forwarding Prohibited)". physical-forwarding-address-request "(Physical Forwarding Address Requested)". physical-delivery-modes registered-mail-type recipient-number-for-advice physical-rendition-attributes physical-delivery-report-request "(Physical Delivery Report Requested)". proof-of-delivery-request "(Proof of Delivery Requested)". 4.6.2.3. Delivery Report Generation If SMTP is used, the behaviour is specified in Appendix A. In | other cases, if | MTA.PerRecipientMessageTransferFields.per-recipient-indicators requires a positive delivery notification, this shall be generated by the gateway. Supplementary Information shall be set to indicate that the report is gateway generated. This information shall include the name of the gateway generating the report. 4.6.3. Message IDs (MTS) A mapping from 822.msg-id to MTS.MTSIdentifier is defined. The reverse mapping is not needed, as MTS.MTSIdentifier is always mapped onto new RFC 822 fields. The value of MTS.MTSIdentifier.local-part will facilitate correlation of gateway errors. To map from 822.msg-id, apply the standard mapping to 822.msg-id, in order to generate an MTS.ORAddress. The Country, ADMD, and PRMD components of this are used to generate MTS.MTSIdentifier.global-domain-identifier. MTS.MTSIdentifier.local-identifier is set to the 822.msg-id, Kille [page 74] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 including the braces "<" and ">". If this string is longer than MTS.ub-local-id-length (32), then it is truncated to this length. The reverse mapping is not used in this specification. It would be applicable where MTS.MTSIdentifier.local-identifier is of syntax 822.msg-id, and it algorithmically identifies MTS.MTSIdentifier. 4.7. IPMS Mappings All RFC 822 addresses are assumed to use the 822.mailbox syntax. This includes all 822.comments associated with the lexical tokens of the 822.mailbox. In the IPMS O/R Names are encoded as MTS.ORName. This is used within the IPMS.ORDescriptor, IPMS.RecipientSpecifier, and IPMS.IPMIdentifier. An asymmetrical mapping is defined between these components. 4.7.1. RFC 822 -> X.400 To derive IPMS.ORDescriptor from an RFC 822 address. 1. Take the address, and extract an EBNF.822-address. Any | source routing shall be removed. This can be derived trivially from either the 822.addr-spec or 822.route-addr syntax. This is mapped to MTS.ORName as described above, and used as IMPS.ORDescriptor.formal-name. 2. A string shall be built consisting of (if present): - The 822.phrase component if the 822.address is an 822.phrase 822.route-addr construct. - Any 822.comments, in order, retaining the parentheses. This string is then encoded into T.61 using a human oriented | mapping (as described in Section 3.5). If the string is not null, it is assigned to IPMS.ORDescriptor.free-form-name. 3. IPMS.ORDescriptor.telephone-number is omitted. If IPMS.ORDescriptor is being used in IPMS.RecipientSpecifier, IPMS.RecipientSpecifier.reply-request and IPMS.RecipientSpecifier.notification-requests are set to default values (false and none). Kille [page 75] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 If the 822.group construct is present, any included 822.mailbox is encoded as above to generate a separate IPMS.ORDescriptor. The 822.group is mapped to T.61 (as described in Section 3.5), and a IPMS.ORDescriptor with only an free-form-name component built from it. 4.7.2. X.400 -> RFC 822 Mapping from IPMS.ORDescriptor to RFC 822 address. In the basic case, where IPMS.ORDescriptor.formal-name is present, proceed as follows. 1. Encode IPMS.ORDescriptor.formal-name (MTS.ORName) as EBNF.822-address. 2a. If IPMS.ORDescriptor.free-form-name is present, convert it to ASCII or T.61 (Section 3.5), and use this as the 822.phrase component of 822.mailbox using the 822.phrase 822.route-addr construct. 2b. If IPMS.ORDescriptor.free-form-name is absent. If EBNF.822-address is parsed as 822.addr-spec use this as the encoding of 822.mailbox. If EBNF.822-address is parsed as | 822.route 822.addr-spec, then an 822.phrase taken from 822.local-part is added. 3 If IPMS.ORDescriptor.telephone-number is present, this is placed in an 822.comment, with the string "Tel ". The normal international form of number is used. For example: (Tel +44-181-333-7777) 4. If IPMS.ORDescriptor.formal-name.directory-name is present, then a text representation is placed in a trailing 822.comment. 5. If IPMS.RecipientSpecifier.report-request has any non- default values, then an 822.comment "(Receipt Notification Requested)", and/or "(Non Receipt Notification Requested)", and/or "(IPM Return Requested)" may be appended to the | address. "(Receipt Notification Requested)" may be used to | infer "(Non Receipt Notification Requested)". The effort of correlating P1 and P2 information is too great to justify Kille [page 76] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 the gateway sending Receipt Notifications. In RFC 1327, inclusion of these comments was mandatory. Experience has shown that the clutter and confusion caused to RFC 822 users does not justify the information conveyed. Implementors are recommended to not include these comments. Unless an application is found where retention of these comments is desirable, they will be dropped from the next version. 6. If IPMS.RecipientSpecifier.reply-request is True, an 822.comment "(Reply requested)" is appended to the address. If IPMS.ORDescriptor.formal-name is absent, IPMS.ORDescriptor.free-form-name is converted to ASCII, and used as 822.phrase within the RFC 822 822.group syntax. For example: Free Form Name ":" ";" Steps 3-6 are then followed. 4.7.3. IP Message IDs There is a need to map both ways between 822.msg-id and IPMS.IPMIdentifier. This allows for X.400 Receipt Notifications, Replies, and Cross References to reference an RFC 822 Message ID, which is preferable to a gateway generated ID. A reversible and symmetrical mapping is defined. This provides fully reversible mappings when messages pass multiple times across the X.400/RFC 822 boundary. An important issue with messages identifiers is mapping to the exact form, as many systems use these ids as uninterpreted keys. The use of table driven mappings is not always symmetrical, particularly in the light of alternative domain names, and alternative management domains. For this reason, a purely algorithmic mapping is used. A mapping which is simpler than that for addresses can be used for two reasons: - There is no major requirement to make message IDs "natural" - There is no issue about being able to reply to message IDs. (For addresses, creating a return path which works is more important than being symmetrical). Kille [page 77] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 The mapping works by defining a way in which message IDs generated on one side of the gateway can be represented on the other side in a systematic manner. The mapping is defined so that the possibility of clashes is is low enough to be treated as impossible. 4.7.3.1. 822.msg-id represented in X.400 IPMS.IPMIdentifier.user is omitted. The IPMS.IPMIdentifier.user-relative-identifier is set to a printable string encoding of the 822.msg-id with the angle braces ("<" and ">") removed. The upper bound on this component is 64. The options for handling this are discussed in Section 5.1.3. 4.7.3.2. IPMS.IPMIdentifier represented in RFC 822 The 822.domain of 822.msg-id is set to the value "MHS". The 822.local-part of 822.msg-id is constructed as follows. A string is build of syntax EBNF.id-loc from IPMS.IPMIdentifier. id-loc ::= [ printablestring ] "*" [ std-or-address ] EBNF.printablestring is the IPMS.IPMIdentifier.user-relative-identifier, and EBNF.std-or- address being an encoding of the IPMS.IPMIdentifier.user derived according to this specification. 822.local-part is derived from EBNF.id-loc, if necessary using the 822.quoted-string encoding. For example: <"147*/S=Dietrich/O=Siemens/ADMD=DBP/C=DE/"@MHS> 4.7.3.3. 822.msg-id -> IPMS.IPMIdentifier If the 822.local-part can be parsed as: [ printablestring ] "*" [ std-or-address ] and the 822.domain is "MHS", then this ID was X.400 generated. If EBNF.printablestring is present, the value is assigned to IPMS.IPMIdentifier.user-relative-identifier. If EBNF.std-or-address is present, the O/R Address components derived from it are used to set IPMS.IPMIdentifier.user. Kille [page 78] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Otherwise, this is an RFC 822 generated ID. In this case, set IPMS.IPMIdentifier.user-relative-identifier to a printable string encoding of the 822.msg-id without the angle braces. 4.7.3.4. IPMS.IPMIdentifier -> 822.msg-id If IPMS.IPMIdentifier.user is absent, and IPMS.IPMIdentifier.user-relative-identifier mapped to ASCII and angle braces added parses as 822.msg-id, then this is an RFC 822 generated ID. Otherwise, the ID is X.400 generated. Use the IPMS.IPMIdentifier.user to generate an EBNF.std-or-address form string. Build the 822.local-part of the 822.msg-id with the syntax: [ printablestring ] "*" [ std-or-address ] The printablestring is taken from IPMS.IPMIdentifier.user-relative-identifier. Use 822.quoted-string if necessary. The 822.msg-id is generated with this 822.local-part, and "MHS" as the 822.domain. 4.7.3.5. Phrase form In "In-Reply-To:" and "References:", the encoding 822.phrase may | be used as an alternative to 822.msg-id. To map from 822.phrase to IPMS.IPMIdentifier, assign IPMS.IPMIdentifier.user-relative-identifier to the phrase. When mapping from IPMS.IPMIdentifier for "In-Reply-To:" and "References:", if IPMS.IPMIdentifier.user is absent and IPMS.IPMIdentifier.user-relative-identifier does not parse as 822.msg-id, generate an 822.phrase rather than adding the domain MHS. 4.7.3.6. RFC 987 backwards compatibility The mapping defined here is different to that used in RFC 987, as the RFC 987 mapping lead to changed message IDs in many cases. Fixing the problems is preferable to retaining backwards compatibility. An implementation of this standard is encouraged to recognise message IDs generated by RFC 987. This is not required. Kille [page 79] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 RFC 987 generated encodings may be recognised as follows. When mapping from X.400 to RFC 822, if the IPMS.IPMIdentifier.user-relative-identifier is "RFC-822" the id is RFC 987 generated. When mapping from RFC 822 to X.400, if the 822.domain is not "MHS", and the 822.local-part can be parsed as [ printablestring ] "*" [ std-or-address ] then it is RFC 987 generated. In each of these cases, it is recommended to follow the RFC 987 rules. Kille [page 80] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Chapter 5 - Detailed Mappings This chapter specifies detailed mappings for the functions outlined in Chapters 1 and 2. It makes extensive use of the notations and mappings defined in Chapters 3 and 4. 5.1. RFC 822 -> X.400: Detailed Mappings The mapping of RFC 822 and MIME messages to X.400 InterPersonal Messages is described in Sections 5.1.1 to 5.1.7. Mapping of NOTARY format delivery status notifications, which are all messages of type multipart/report and subtype delivery-status-notifications to X.400 delivery reports is covered in Section 5.1.8. 5.1.1. Basic Approach A single IP Message is generated from an RFC 822 message. The | RFC 822 headers are used to generate the IPMS.Heading. Some RFC 822 fields cannot be mapped onto a standard IPM Heading field, and so an extended field is defined in Section 5.1.2. This is then used for fields which cannot be mapped onto existing services. The message is submitted to the MTS, and the services required can be defined by specifying MTS.MessageSubmissionEnvelope. A few parameters of the MTA Abstract service are also specified, which are not in principle available to the MTS User. Use of these services allows RFC 822 MTA level parameters to be carried in the analogous X.400 service elements. The advantages of this mapping far outweigh the layering violation. 5.1.2. X.400 Extension Field An IPMS Extension is defined: Kille [page 81] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 rfc-822-field HEADING-EXTENSION VALUE RFC822FieldList ::= id-rfc-822-field-list RFC822FieldList ::= SEQUENCE OF RFC822Field RFC822Field ::= IA5String The Object Identifier id-rfc-822-field-list is defined in Appendix D. To encode any RFC 822 Header using this extension, an RFC822Field element is built using the 822.field omitting the trailing CRLF (e.g., "Fruit-Of-The-Day: Kiwi Fruit"). All fields shall be unfolded. There shall be no space before the ":". The reverse mapping builds the RFC 822 field in a straightforward manner. This RFC822Field is appended to the RFC822FieldList, which is added to the IPM Heading as an extension field. 5.1.3. Generating the IPM The IPM (IPMS Service Request) is generated according to the rules of this section. The IPMS.IPM.body is generated from the RFC 822 message body in the manner described in Section 5.1.5. If no specific 1988 features are used, the IPM generated is encoded as content type 2. Otherwise, it is encoded as content type 22. The latter will always be the case if extension heading fields are generated. When generating the IPM, the issue of upper bounds are | handled as follows. Truncate fields to the upper bounds specified in X.400. This will prevent problems with UAs which enforce upper bounds, but will sometimes discard useful information. This approach will cause more problems for some fields than others (e.g., truncating an O/R Address component that would be used to route a reply would be a more severe problem than truncating a Free Form Name). If the Free Form name is truncated, it shall be done so that it does not break RFC 822 | comments and RFC 1522 encoding. | Note:This approach removes a choice of options given in RFC 1327, | Kille [page 82] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 based on operational experience. The rest of this section concerns IPMS.IPM.heading (IPMS.Heading). The only mandatory component of IPMS.Heading is the IPMS.Heading.this-IPM (IPMS.IPMIdentifier). A default is generated by the gateway. With the exception of "Received:", the values of multiple fields are merged (e.g., If there are two "To:" fields, then the mailboxes of both are merged to generate a single list which is used in the IPMS.Heading.primary-recipients. Information shall be generated from the standard RFC 822 Headers as follows: Date: Ignore (Handled at MTS level) Received: Ignore (Handled at MTA level) Message-Id: Mapped to IPMS.Heading.this-IPM. For these, and all other fields containing 822.msg-id the mappings of Chapter 4 are used for each 822.msg-id. From: If Sender: is present, this is mapped to IPMS.Heading.authorizing-users. If not, it is mapped to IPMS.Heading.originator. For this, and other components containing addresses, the mappings of Chapter 4 are used for each address. Sender: Mapped to IPMS.Heading.originator. Reply-To: Mapped to IPMS.Heading.reply-recipients. To: Mapped to IPMS.Heading.primary-recipients Cc: Mapped to IPMS.Heading.copy-recipients. Bcc: Mapped to IPMS.Heading.blind-copy-recipients if there is at least one BCC: recipient. If there are no recipients in this field, it should be mapped to a zero length sequence. Kille [page 83] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 In-Reply-To: If there is one value, it is mapped to IPMS.Heading.replied-to-IPM, using the 822.phrase or 822.msg-id mapping as appropriate. If there are several values, they are mapped to IPMS.Heading.related-IPMs, along with any values from a "References:" field. References: Mapped to IPMS.Heading.related-IPMs. Keywords: Mapped onto a heading extension. Subject: Mapped to IPMS.Heading.subject. The field-body uses the human oriented mapping referenced in Section 3.3.4. Comments: Mapped onto a heading extension. This is a change from 1327, which specified to generate an IPMS.BodyPart of type IPMS.IA5TextBodyPart with IPMS.IA5TextBodyPart.parameters.repertoire set to the default (ia5), containing the value of the fields, preceded by the string "Comments: " and that this body part shall precede the other one. Experience has shown that this complexity is not justified. This text is retained to facilitate backwards compatibility. Encrypted: Mapped onto a heading extension. Resent-* Mapped onto a heading extension. Note that it would be possible to use a ForwardedIPMessage for these fields, but the semantics are (arguably) slightly different, and it is probably not worth the effort. Content-Language: This fields is defined in RFC 1766 [8]. Map the first two | characters of each value given onto the IPM Languages | extension. If any comments or values longer than two | characters occur, a header extension shall also be | generated. Kille [page 84] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Other Fields In particular X-* fields, and "illegal" fields in common usage (e.g., "Fruit-of-the-day:") are mapped onto a heading extension, unless covered by another section or appendix of this specification. The same treatment is applied to RFC 822 fields where the content of the field does not conform to RFC 822 (e.g., a Date: field with unparseable syntax). The MIME heading are mapped as follows. When performing a reverse | mapping from X.400 to MIME, these fields may be treated as a hint to help convert the message as well as possible. Only one value for each field shall be present in the MIME message that is thus generated. MIME-Version: Mapped onto a heading extension. Content-Transfer-Encoding: Mapped onto a heading extension. Content-Type Mapped onto a heading extension. Content-ID Mapped onto a heading extension. Content-Description Mapped onto a heading extension. 5.1.4. Generating the IPM Body If the header does not contain a 822.MIME-Version field, then generate a IPMS.Body with a single IPMS.BodyPart of type IPMS.IA5TextBodyPart with IPMS.IA5TextBodyPart.parameters.repertoire set to the default (ia5) containing the body of the RFC 822 message. If 822.MIME-Version is present, then the body part is analysed as a MIME message and the elements treated as described below. 5.1.4.1. Mapping Multiparts A MIME multipart is a set of content-types and not a message with Kille [page 85] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 a set of content types. When the multipart is at the outermost MIME header and is either multipart/digest or multipart/mixed, elements of the multipart are mapped directly onto IPMS.BodyPart. In other cases, a MIME multipart is mapped to an IPMS.MessageBodyPart containing an IPMS.BodyPart for each element of the multipart. When a nested IPMS.Message is generated from a multipart, an IPMS.heading shall always be generated. The only mandatory field is the IPMS.Heading.this-IPM message id, which shall be generated by the gateway. An IPMS.Heading.subject field shall also be generated, in order to provide useful information to non-MIME capable X.400(88) UAs and to all X.400(84) UAs. The subject field is set as follows according to the multipart subtype: mixed: "Multipart Message" alternative: "Alternative Body Parts containing the same information" digest: "Message Digest" parallel: "Body Parts interpreted in parallel" other: "Multipart Message ()" For other types of multipart, the multipart subtype shall be included in the subject line. For each multipart, the following IPMS.HeadingExtension shall be generated, with the enumerated value set according to the subtype: multipart-message HEADING-EXTENSION VALUE MultipartType ::= id-hex-multipart-message MultipartType ::= IA5String The MultipartType contains the subtype, for example "digest". If this heading is present when mapping from X.400 to MIME, the the appropriate multipart may be generated. 5.1.4.2. Mapping Content Type Message When a message subtype is contained within a MIME message, it is mapped to an IPMS.MessageBodyPart according to this specification. Any mappings that would have been made to the MTS Abstract Service are placed in Kille [page 86] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 IPMS.MessageBodyPart.parameters.delivery-envelope. Content type message has three subtypes, which are handled as follows: message/rfc822 Mapped onto IPMS.ForwardedIPMessage. message/external This points to an external body part. As this will not in general be accessible to the X.400 recipient, the body part shall be resolved at the gateway, unless it is already | included in a multipart/alternative or the recipient UA is | known to be capable of handling a message/external tunnelled | body part. The gateway shall obtain the body part and then | map it as if it had been included. If the expiration date of the external body part has expired, the gateway may | tunnel the body part. | Editor's Note: | There has been comment that this dereference should be made | more optional or the text changed in some way. Input is | solicited. message/partial The following heading extension is added, derived from the message/partial parameters, in order to facilitate MIME capable X.400 UAs to handle messages of this type: partial-message HEADING-EXTENSION VALUE PartialMessage ::= id-hex-partial-message PartialMessage ::= SEQUENCE { number INTEGER, total INTEGER, id IA5String } message/other No specific treatment is defined for other subtypes of message. Treatment for new message subtypes may be defined Kille [page 87] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 in future versions of MIXER. 5.1.4.3. Mapping Other Content Types All other MIME content types are atomic data, and can be regarded as message attachments. The following basic types and some subtypes are defined in MIME: text; application; image; audio; video. The mapping to X.400 of the types defined in MIME is specified in RFC 1494bis. 5.1.4.4. Mapping to Body Part 15 RFC 1494bis defines mappings onto Body Part 15. Similar | considerations apply to body parts 1-14. MIME defines fields | which add information to MIME contents. Two of these are | "Content-ID", and "Content-Description". When mapping to body part 15, this information must be discarded, unless the specific body part 15 mapping allows it to be retained. 5.1.4.5. Mapping to the EMA FTBP EMA has defined a profile for use of the File Transfer Body Part (FTBP) . [28] MIXER spepcifies mapping to FTBP, as defined by | this profile. MIXER does not define when this mapping is to be | used. This is a matter for gateway configuration and the user | agent capabilities. The exact mapping will depend on the attachment being mapped, and so cannot be defined here. The MIME headers are mapped as follows: Content-ID: If this is present, create an element FTBP.FileTransferParameters.related-stored-file. | file-identifier.cross-refernce.message-reference FTBP.FileTransferParameters.related-stored-file. | file-identifier.cross-refernce.message-reference and set it to the IPM.MessageIdentifier derived from the "Content-ID:". FTBP.FileTransferParameters.related-stored-file. relationship.descriptive-relationship is set to the string "Internet MIME Body Part". FTBP.FileTransferParameters.related-stored-file. | file-identifier.cross-refernce.application-crossreference is Kille [page 88] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 set to a null OCTET STRING. Content-Descriptor: This is mapped to the first string in FTBP.FileTransferParameters.environment.user-visible-string. | A specific mapping for multipart/appledouble is defined. Noting | that the fileTransferData component of an FTBP is a SEQUENCE of | EXTERNAL, the file data component of the multipart is mapped onto | the first of two elements of the SEQUENCE, and the | application/applefile component (the finder and resource info) is | mapped onto the second element of the sequence. Applications | which don't care about the finder and resource info can, | therefore, simply ignore the second element and extract the data | from the first element. The direct reference component of the | first element is set to reflect the original type/subtype of the | MIME data component, according the OID's defined in RFC1494bis. | Editor's Note: | This specification is clearly useful and needed. Does it | belong in MIXER? Comments solicited. 5.1.4.6. Encapsulation in X.400 Where no mapping is possible, the gateway may choose to discard the body part or to reject the message. This will depend on gateway policy, and configuration knowledge. Another option is to "tunnel" the body part, by encapsulating it in X.400. This section defines an extended body part, based on body part 15, which may be used to hold any MIME content. Kille [page 89] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 mime-body-part EXTENDED-BODY-PART-TYPE PARAMETERS MimeParameters IDENTIFIED BY id-mime-body-part-parameters DATA OCTET STRING ::= id-mime-body-part MimeParameters ::= SEQUENCE { content-type IA5String, content-parameters SEQUENCE OF SEQUENCE { parameter IA5String, parameter-value IA5String } other-header-fields RFC822FieldList } The OBJECT IDENTIFIERS id-mime-body-part and | id-mime-body-part-parameters are defined in Appendix D. A MIME content is mapped onto this body part. The MIME headers of the body part are mapped as follows: Content-Type: The "type/subtype" string is mapped to MimeParameters.content-type. For each "parameter=value" string create a MimeParameters.content-parameters element. The MimeParameters.content-Parameters.parameter field is set to the parameter and the MimeParameters.content-parameters.parameter-value field is set to the value. OtherTake all other headers and create MimeParameters.other-header-fields, by concatenating them together. Convert the MIME body part into its canonical form, as specified in Appendix H of MIME [9]. This canonical form is used to generate the mime-body-part.data octet string. The Parameter mapping may be used independently of the body part mapping (e.g., in order to use a different encoding for a | Kille [page 90] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 mapped MIME body part). This body part contains all of the MIME information, and so can be mapped back to MIME without loss of information. 5.1.5. Mappings to the MTS Abstract Service The MTS.MessageSubmissionEnvelope comprises MTS.PerMessageSubmissionFields, and MTS.PerRecipientMessageSubmissionFields. The mandatory parameters are defaulted as follows. MTS.PerMessageSubmissionFields.originator-name This is always generated from SMTP, as defined in Chapter 4. | MTS.PerMessageSubmissionFields.content-type Set to the value implied by the encoding of the IPM (2 or 22). MTS.PerRecipientMessageSubmissionFields.recipient-name These will always be supplied from SMTP, as defined in | Chapter 4. Optional components are omitted, and default components defaulted. This means that disclosure of recipients is prohibited and conversion is allowed. There are two exceptions to the defaulting. For MTS.PerMessageSubmissionFields.per-message-indicators, the following settings are made: - Alternate recipient is allowed, as it seems desirable to maximise the opportunity for (reliable) delivery. * If SMTP is used, Appendix A shall be followed in setting these | parameters. MTS.PerMessageSubmissionFields.original-encoded-information-types | is derived from the message generated by the gateway, and shall | reflect all body parts. | The MTS.PerMessageSubmissionFields.content-correlator is encoded as IA5String, and contains the Subject:, Message-ID:, Date:, and To: fields (if present). This includes the strings "Subject:", "Date:", "To:", "Message-ID:", and appropriate folding to make | Kille [page 91] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 the field appear readable. This shall be truncated to MTS.ub-content-correlator-length (512) characters. In addition, if there is a "Subject:" field, the MTS.PerMessageSubmissionFields.content-identifier, is set to a printable string representation of the contents of it. If the length of this string is greater than MTS.ub-content-id-length (16), it should be truncated to 13 characters and the string "..." appended. Both are used, due to the much larger upper bound of the content correlator, and that the content id is available in X.400(1984). 5.1.6. Mappings to the MTA Abstract Service There is a need to map directly onto some aspects of the MTA Abstract service, for the following reasons: - So the the MTS Message Identifier can be generated from the RFC 822 Message-ID:. - So that the submission date can be generated from the 822.Date. - To prevent loss of trace information - To prevent RFC 822/X.400 looping caused by distribution lists or redirects The following mappings are defined. Message-Id: If this is present, the MTA.PerMessageTransferFields.message-identifier is generated from it, using the mappings described in Chapter 4. This mapping arguably generates messages which do not conform to US GOSIP (1984 version only), which states: | Kille [page 92] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 6.7.e MPDI Identifier Validation | (1) Validation of the GlobalDomainIdentifier component of the MPDU| Identifier is performed on reception of a message (i.e. the result| of a TRANSFER.Indication). | | (2) The country name should be known to the validating domain, and| depending on the country name, validation of the ADMD name may also| be possible. | (3) Additional validation of the GlobalDomainIdentifier is performed| against the corresponding first entry in the TraceInformation. If| inconsistencies are found during the comparison, a non-delivery| notice with the above defined reason and diagnosticcode is | generated. | (4) A request will be generated to the CCITT for a more meaningful| diagnostic code (such as "InconsistentMPUTIdentifier"). | This applies to ADMDs only, and is specified in the 1984 version and not the 1988 version. Conformance depends on the interpretation of "inconsistency". The specification makes the most sensible choice, and so is not being changed in the update from RFC 1327. Date: This is used to set the first component of MTA.PerMessageTransferFields.trace-information (MTA.TraceInformationElement). The SMTP originator is | mapped into an MTS.ORAddress, and used to derive MTA.TraceInformationElement.global-domain-identifier. The optional components of MTA.TraceInformationElement.domain-supplied-information are omitted, and the mandatory components are set as follows: MTA.DomainSuppliedInformation.arrival-time This is set to the date derived from Date: MTA.DomainSuppliedInformation.routing-action Set to relayed. The first element of Kille [page 93] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 MTA.PerMessageTransferFields.internal-trace-information is generated in an analogous manner, although this can be dropped later in certain circumstances (see the procedures for "Received:"). The MTA.InternalTraceInformationElement.mta-name is derived from the 822.domain in the 822 MTS Originator address. Received: All RFC 822 trace is used to derive MTA.PerMessageTransferFields.trace-information and MTA.PerMessageTransferFields.internal-trace-information. Processing of Received: lines follows processing of Date:, and is be done from the the bottom to the top of the RFC 822 header (i.e., in chronological order). When other trace elements (in particular X400-Received:) are processed the | relative ordering (top to bottom of the header) shall be | retained correctly. The initial element of MTA.PerMessageTransferFields.trace-information will be generated already (from Date:), unless the message has previously been in X.400, when it will be derived from the X.400 trace information. Consider the Received: field in question. If the "by" part of the received is present, use it to derive an MTS.GlobalDomainIdentifier. If this is different from the one in the last element of MTA.PerMessageTransferFields.trace-information (MTA.TraceInformationElement.global-domain-identifier) create a new MTA.TraceInformationElement, and optionally remove MTA.PerMessageTransferFields.internal-trace-information. This removal shall be done in cases where the message is being transferred to another MD where there is no bilateral agreement to preserve internal trace beyond the local MD. The trace creation is as for internal trace described below, except that no MTA field is needed. | Editor's Note: | It has been proposed to remove this paragraph, as this | should be done by the MTA beyond the gateway. Input | solicited. Then add a new element (MTA.InternalTraceInformationElement) to MTA.PerMessageTransferFields.internal-trace-information, Kille [page 94] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 creating this if needed. This shall be done, even if inter-MD trace is created. The MTA.InternalTraceInformationElement.global-domain-identifier is set to the value derived. The MTA.InternalTraceInformationElement.mta-supplied-information (MTA.MTASuppliedInformation) is set as follows: MTA.MTASuppliedInformation.arrival-time Derived from the date of the Received: line MTA.MTASuppliedInformation.routing-action Set to relayed The MTA.InternalTraceInformationElement.mta-name is taken from the "by" component of the "Received:" field, truncated to MTS.ub-mta-name-length (32). For example: Received: from computer-science.nottingham.ac.uk by vs6.Cs.Ucl.AC.UK via Janet with NIFTP id aa03794; 28 Mar 89 16:38 GMT Generates the string vs6.Cs.Ucl.AC.UK Note that before transferring the message to some ADMDs, additional trace stripping may be required, as the implied path through multiple MDs would violate ADMD policy. This will depend on bilateral agreement with the ADMD. The gateway itself shall not add trace information. However, for trace purposes, the gateway shall be considered as an X.400 and Internet MTA back to back, and both of these shall add trace elements. 5.1.7. Mapping New Fields This specification defines a number of new fields for Reports, Notifications and IP Messages. A gateway conforming to this | specification shall map all of these fields to X.400, except as | defined below. Kille [page 95] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 The mapping of two extended fields is particularly | important, in order to prevent looping. "DL-Expansion-History:" is mapped to MTA.PerMessageTransferFields.extensions.dl-expansion-history X400-Received: must be mapped to MTA.PerMessageTransferFields.trace-information and MTA.PerMessageTransferFields.internal-trace-information. In cases where X400-Received: is present, the usual mapping of Date: to generate the first element of trace should not be done. This is because the message has come from X.400, and so the first element of trace can be taken from the first X400-Received:. The following fields shall not be mapped, and shall be discarded: - Discarded-X400-MTS-Extensions: - Message-Type: - Discarded-X400-IPMS-Extensions: - X400-Content-Type: - X400-Originator: - X400-Recipients: - X400-MTS-Identifier: Mapping this field would be useful in | some circumstances, but very dangerouts in others (e.g., | following an internet list expansion). Therefore it is not | mapped. 5.1.8. Mapping Delivery Status Notifications to X.400 5.1.8.1. Basic Model Internet Mail delivery status notifications (DSN) are mapped to X.400 delivery reports. With message mapping, information without a mapping is carried by an IPM Extension. This cannot | be done for delivery reports. Two mechanisms are used for information where there is not a direct mapping. The first mechanism is to define extensions, which allow all Kille [page 96] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 of the DSN information to be carried in the delivery report. This is not completely satisfactory for two reasons: 1. User defined extensions are supported by the ISO version of the standard, but not the CCITT one. Therefore, implementation support for these extensions will not be universal. 2 X.400 User Agent implementations will not in general recognise these extensions. Therefore, although the information will be present, it will often not be available | to the user. This may be very problematic, as this information may be critical to diagnosing the reason for a failure. Therefore a second mechanism is defined. This shall always be used when the DSN contains non-delivery information, and may be used in other cases. This mechanism is to map the whole DSN | (as if it were an ordinary multipart) into the return of content. This will make the DSN information available as a text body part in the outer message, with the real returned content as an enclosed message. This mechanism will ensure that information is not lost at the gateway. 5.1.8.2. DSN Extensions Two X.400 MTS extensions are defined as follows: dsn-header-list EXTENSION RFC822FieldList ::= id-dsn-header-list dsn-field-list EXTENSION RFC822FieldList ::= id-dsn-field-list The Object Identifiers id-dsn-header-list and id-dsn-field-list | are defined in Appendix D. These extension is used in the same way as the IPM extension rfc-822-field, described in Section | 5.1.2. These extensions may only be used with ISO-10021, and | not X.400 (which does not allow user extensions at the MTS | level). Kille [page 97] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 5.1.8.3. DSN to Delivery Report Mapping Reports may not be submitted in the X.400 model, and so the report submission is considered in terms of the MTA Abstract Service. An MTA.Report is constructed. The MTA.ReportTransferFields.report-identifier is generated from the Message-Id of the DSN (if present) and otherwise generated as the MTA would generate one for a submitted message. The DSN has an RFC 822 header. Trace is mapped in the same manner as for a message to MTA.ReportTransferEnvelope.trace-information. All other headers are used to create a dsn-header-list extension, which is added to | MTA.ReportTransferFields.extensions. The DSN will have a single SMTP recipient. This is mapped | to the MTA.ReportTransferEnvelope.report-destination-name. The DSN is then treated as a normal MIME message, and an X.400 IPM is generated. This IPM is used as MTA.PerReportTransferFields.returned-content, and its type is used to set MTA.PerReportTransferFields.content-type. The DSN body part is mapped as if it was IA5 text/plain. All other mappings are made from the DSN body part. A dsn- field-list extension is created and added to MTA.ReportTransferFields.extensions. This is referred to as the per report extension list. The DSN.per-message-fields are mapped as follows: original-envelope-id-field reporting-mta-field | dsn-gateway-field | received-from-mta-field | arrival-date-field | extension-field | other | All of these fields are added to the per report extension list. Currently there are no other mappings defined. Each reported recipient is considered in turn, and a MTA.PerRecipientReportTransferFields created for each. The parameters of this are defaulted as follows: Kille [page 98] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 originally-specified-recipient-number In general, these are not available, and so are assigned incrementally. last-trace-information The arrival-time is generated from DSN.arrival-date if | present, and if not from the Date: of the DSN. A dsn-field-list extension is created and added to MTA.PerRecipientTransferFields.extensions. This is referred to as the per recipient extension list. The DSN.per-recipient-fields are mapped as follows original-recipient-field Mapped to MTA.PerRecipientReportTransferFields.originally-intended-recipient-name. final-recipient-field Mapped to MTA.PerRecipientReportTransferFields.actual-recipient-name. action-field If this is set to "failed", a non-delivery report is generated. Otherwise a delivery report is generated. Bit one or two of MTA.PerRecipientTransferFields.per-recipient-indicators is set accordingly. This also controls the encoding of MTA.PerRecipientTransferFields.last-trace-information, and the selection of the report type. status-field This is added to the per report extension list. For non- delivery, it is also used to generate the reason and diagnostic codes contained within MTA.PerRecipientReportTransferFields.last-trace. The mappings are defined below. remote-mta-field diagnostic-code-field last-attempt-date-field will-retry-until-field Kille [page 99] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 extension-field other All of these fields are added to the per recipient extension | list. 5.1.8.4.

DSNs that originated in X.400 The mapping of X.400 delivery reports to DSNs will in general provide sufficient information to make a useful reverse mapping. Messages will often be mapped multiple times, commonly due to forwarding messages and to distribution lists. Multiple mappings for delivery reports will be a good deal less common. For this reason, the reverse mapping of the X.400 DSN extensions defined in MIXER is optional. 5.2. Return of Contents It is not clear how widely supported the X.400 return of contents service will be. Experience with X.400(1984) suggests that support of this service may not be universal. As this service is expected in the RFC 822 world, two approaches are specified. The choice will depend on the use of X.400 return of contents withing the X.400 community being serviced by the gateway. Kille [page 101] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 In environments where return of contents is widely supported, content return can be requested as a service. The content return service can then be passed back to the end (RFC 822) user in a straightforward manner. * 5.3. X.400 -> RFC 822: Detailed Mappings 5.3.1. Basic Approach A single RFC 822 message is generated from the incoming IP Message, Report, or IP Notification. All IPMS.BodyParts are mapped onto a single RFC 822 body. Other services are mapped onto RFC 822 header fields. Where there is no appropriate existing field, new fields are defined for IPMS, MTS and MTA services. The gateway mechanisms will correspond to MTS Delivery. As with submission, there are aspects where the MTA (transfer) services are also used. In particular, there is an optimisation | to allow for multiple SMTP recipients. 5.3.2. RFC 822 Settings An RFC 822 Message has a number of mandatory fields in the RFC | 822 Header. Some SMTP services mandate specification of an SMTP Originator. Even in cases where this is optional, it is usually desirable to specify a value. The following defaults are defined, which shall be used if the mappings specified do not derive a value: | SMTP Originator | If this is not generated by the mapping (e.g., for a Delivery Report), a value pointing at a gateway administrator shall be assigned. Date: A value will always be generated From: If this is not generated by the mapping, it is assigned equal to the SMTP Originator. If this is gateway generated, | an appropriate 822.phrase shall be added. At least one recipient field Kille [page 102] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 If no recipient fields are generated, a field "To: list:;", shall be added. This will ensure minimal RFC 822 compliance. When generating RFC 822 headers, folding may be used. It is recommended to do this, following the guidelines of RFC 822. 5.3.3. Basic Mappings 5.3.3.1. Encoded Information Types This mapping from MTS.EncodedInformationTypes is needed in several disconnected places. EBNF is defined as follows: encoded-info = 1#encoded-type encoded-type = built-in-eit / object-identifier built-in-eit = "Undefined" ; undefined (0) / "Telex" ; tLX (1) / "IA5-Text" ; iA5Text (2) / "G3-Fax" ; g3Fax (3) / "TIF0" ; tIF0 (4) / "Teletex" ; tTX (5) / "Videotex" ; videotex (6) / "Voice" ; voice (7) / "SFD" ; sFD (8) / "TIF1" ; tIF1 (9) MTS.EncodedInformationTypes is mapped onto EBNF.encoded-info. MTS.EncodedInformationTypes.non-basic-parameters is ignored. Built in types are mapped onto fixed strings (compatible with X.400(1984) and RFC 987), and other types are mapped onto EBNF.object-identifier. 5.3.3.2. Global Domain Identifier The following simple EBNF is used to represent MTS.GlobalDomainIdentifier: global-id = std-or-address This is encoded using the std-or-address syntax, for the Kille [page 103] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 attributes within the Global Domain Identifier. 5.3.4. Mappings from the IP Message Consider that an IPM has to be mapped to RFC 822. The IPMS.IPM comprises an IPMS.IPM.heading and IPMS.IPM.body. The heading is considered first. Some EBNF for new fields is defined: ipms-field = "Obsoletes" ":" 1#msg-id / "Expiry-Date" ":" date-time / "Reply-By" ":" date-time / "Importance" ":" importance / "Sensitivity" ":" sensitivity / "Autoforwarded" ":" boolean / "Incomplete-Copy" ":" / "Content-Language" ":" 1#language | / "Message-Type" ":" message-type / "Discarded-X400-IPMS-Extensions" ":" 1#object-identifier / "Autosubmitted" ":" autosubmitted importance = "low" / "normal" / "high" sensitivity = "Personal" / "Private" / "Company-Confidential" language = 2*ALPHA [ language-description ] language-description = printable-string message-type = "Delivery Report" / "InterPersonal Notification" / "Multiple Part" autosubmitted = "not-auto-submitted" / "auto-generated" / "auto-replied" / "auto-forwarded" Kille [page 104] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 The mappings and actions for the IPMS.Heading are now specified | for each element. Addresses and Message Identifiers are mapped according to Chapter 4. Other mappings are explained, or are straightforward (algorithmic). If a field with addresses contains zero elements, it should be discarded, except for IPMS.Heading.blind-copy-recipients, which can be mapped onto BCC: (the only RFC 822 field which allows zero recipients). IPMS.Heading.this-IPM Mapped to "Message-ID:". IPMS.Heading.originator If IPMS.Heading.authorizing-users is present this is mapped to Sender:, if not to "From:". IPMS.Heading.authorizing-users Mapped to "From:". IPMS.Heading.primary-recipients Mapped to "To:". IPMS.Heading.copy-recipients Mapped to "Cc:". IPMS.Heading.blind-copy-recipients Mapped to "Bcc:". IPMS.Heading.replied-to-ipm Mapped to "In-Reply-To:". IPMS.Heading.obsoleted-IPMs Mapped to the extended RFC 822 field "Obsoletes:" IPMS.Heading.related-IPMs Mapped to "References:". IPMS.Heading.subject Mapped to "Subject:". The contents are converted to ASCII or T.61 (as defined in Section 3.5). Any CRLF are not mapped, but are used as points at which the subject field must be folded. IPMS.Heading.expiry-time Mapped to the extended RFC 822 field "Expiry-Date:". Kille [page 105] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 IPMS.Heading.reply-time Mapped to the extended RFC 822 field "Reply-By:". IPMS.Heading.reply-recipients Mapped to "Reply-To:". IPMS.Heading.importance Mapped to the extended RFC 822 field "Importance:". IPMS.Heading.sensitivity Mapped to the extended RFC 822 field "Sensitivity:". IPMS.Heading.autoforwarded Mapped to the extended RFC 822 field "Autoforwarded:". The standard extensions (Annex H of X.420 / ISO 10021-7) are mapped as follows: incomplete-copy Mapped to the extended RFC 822 field "Incomplete-Copy:". language Mapped to the RFC 822 field "Content-Language:", defined in RFC 1766 [8]. This mapping may be made without loss of information. auto-submitted Map to the extended RFC 822 field "Autosubmitted:". If the RFC 822 extended header is found, this shall be mapped onto an RFC 822 header, as described in Section 5.1.2. If a non-standard extension is found, it shall be discarded, unless the gateway understands the extension and can perform an appropriate mapping onto an RFC 822 header field. If extensions are discarded, the list is indicated in the extended RFC 822 field "Discarded-X400-IPMS-Extensions:". 5.3.4.1. Mapping the IPMS Body The IPMS.Body is mapped into the RFC 822 message body. If the IPMS.Body consists of a single IPMS.Bodypart, there are three possibilities. Kille [page 106] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 1. If it is of type IPMS.IA5Text, then this is mapped directly and no MIME encoding is used. 2. If it is of type IPMS.MessageBodyPart, then a MIME message with content type message/rfc822 is generated, following the mappings described for IPMS.BodyPart given below, except in | the case where a multipart-message heading extension is | present. In the latter case the mapping of 5.1 shall be | reversed. 3. The mapping of other body parts is specified below. If the IPMS.Body contains multiple IPMS.BodyPart fields, then a MIME message of content type multipart is generated. If all of the body parts are messages, then this is multipart/digest. Otherwise it is multipart/mixed. The components of the multipart are generated in the same order as in the IPMS.Body. Body parts which are not messages are mapped according to RFC 1494bis. | To map an IPMS.MessageBodyPart, the full X.400 -> RFC 822 mapping is recursively applied, to generate an RFC 822 Message. If present, the IPMS.MessageBodyPart.parameters.delivery-envelope is used for the MTS Abstract Service Mappings. If present, the IPMS.MessageBodyPart.parameters.delivery-time is mapped to the extended RFC 822 field "Delivery-Date:". To support X.400(1984) mappings of Internet Messages, the following procedure shall also be followed. If there is more than one body part, and the first body part is IA5 starts with the string "RFC-822-Headers:" as the first line, then the remainder of this body part shall be appended to the RFC 822 | header. This relies that this body part has been generated | according to Appedix B of MIXER. A gateway shall check the | consistency and syntax of this body part, to ensure that the | resulting message is conformant. 5.3.4.2. Mapping Body Parts X.400 and MIME define extensible approaches for body parts, and the ability to map a specific body part depends on the gateway's knowledge. Mapping of all standard X.400 body parts, and some extended body parts is defined in RFC 1494bis. The case of File Transfer Body Part (FTBP) is described Kille [page 107] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 below. Where no mapping is known by the gateway, it may choose to drop the body part, or reject the message. It may also encapsulate the body part in a mechanism which can be used for any extended X.400 body part. This is specified below. The option will depend on the gateway configuration and its knowledge of the recipient capabilities. 5.3.4.3. File Transfer Body Part X.400 specifies a file transfer body part (FTBP). Generic mapping of FTBP is beyond the scope of MIXER. EMA have defined a profile of FTBP to carry attachments [28]. MIXER defines a mapping of FTBP to MIME, which is intended for use in conjunction with this profile. FTBP is used to carry various pieces of information associated with an attachment. The key mapping will be to correctly convert the contents of the attachment. This specification also provides a mechanism for mapping the parameters which EMA have recommended to be used in version 1.4 of the specification. A BNF is defined below: ftbp-field = "FTBP-Object-Size" ":" integer | / "FTBP-Creation-Date" ":" date-time / "FTBP-Modification-Date" ":" date-time "FTBP-Read-Date" ":" date-time Some parameters are encoded as graphical strings. To map | these to ASCII, those characters that map directly are mapped, and others are translated to "?". This simple non-reversible mapping is seen as appropriate for the application, and in line with the spirit of the EMA profile. Mapping of the data will be dependent on the attachment, its encoding, and the MIME representation. These cannot be specified here. Other FTBP Parameters are mapped as follows: FileTransferParameters.environment.user-visible-string This is mapped to the "Content-Descriptor:" header. The following elements of FileTransferParameters.file-attributes Kille [page 108] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 are mapped as follows: pathname Mapped to "Content-Dispostion:", as defined in RFC 1806 | [33]. The EBNF.disposition-type is set to "attachment", and | the filename is included as a parameter. For example: | Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=/var/joe/dodo.doc It is expected that only the incomplete option will be found, but the mapping is used for either variant. The separator between multiple components is "/". date-and-time-of-creation Mapped to "FTBP-Creation-Date:". date-and-time-of-last-modification Mapped to "FTBP-Modification-Date:". date-and-time-of-last-read-access Mapped to "FTBP-Read-Date:". object-size Mapped to "FTBP-Object-Size:". 5.3.4.4. Tunnelling X.400 Body Parts This section specifies a generic mechanism to map X.400 body parts to a MIME content. This allows for the body part to be tunnelled through MIME. It may also be used directly by an appropriately configured MIME UA. This content-type is defined to carry any X.400 extended body part. The mapping of all standard X.400 body parts is defined in RFC1494bis. The content-type field is "application/x400-bp". The parameter is defined by the EBNF: mime-parameter = "bp-type=" object-identifier The EBNF.object-identifier is set to the OBJECT IDENTIFIER from IPMS.body.externally-defined.data.direct-reference . For example, a Videotex body part will have Kille [page 109] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Content-type=application/x400-bp; bp-type=2.6.1.4.5 The body contains the raw ASN.1 IPM.body octet stream, including the initial tag octet. The content may use a content- transfer-encoding of either base64 or quoted-printable when carried in 7-bit MIME. It is recommended to use the one which gives the more compact encoding of the data. If this cannot be determined, Base64 is recommended. No attempt is made to turn the parameters of Extended Body Parts into MIME parameters, as this cannot be done in a general manner. Standard X.400 body parts may not be encoded directly by this mechanism, but may be encoded indirectly by first translating to the extended representation. * 5.3.4.5.

Mappings from the MTS Abstract Service This section describes the MTS mappings for User Messages (IPM and IPN). This mapping is defined by specifying the mapping of MTS.MessageDeliveryEnvelope. The following extensions to RFC 822 are defined to support this mapping: Kille [page 116] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 mts-field = "X400-MTS-Identifier" ":" mts-msg-id / "X400-Originator" ":" mailbox / "X400-Recipients" ":" 1#mailbox / "Original-Encoded-Information-Types" ":" encoded-info / "X400-Content-Type" ":" mts-content-type / "Content-Identifier" ":" printablestring / "Priority" ":" priority / "Originator-Return-Address" ":" 1#mailbox / "DL-Expansion-History" ":" mailbox ";" date-time ";" / "Conversion" ":" prohibition / "Conversion-With-Loss" ":" prohibition / "Requested-Delivery-Method" ":" 1*( labelled-integer ) / "Delivery-Date" ":" date-time / "Discarded-X400-MTS-Extensions" ":" 1#( object-identifier / labelled-integer ) prohibition = "Prohibited" / "Allowed" mts-msg-id = "[" global-id ";" *text "]" mts-content-type = "P2" / labelled-integer / object-identifier priority = "normal" / "non-urgent" / "urgent" The mappings for each element of MTS.MessageDeliveryEnvelope can now be considered. MTS.MessageDeliveryEnvelope.message-delivery-identifier Mapped to the extended RFC 822 field "X400-MTS-Identifier:". MTS.MessageDeliveryEnvelope.message-delivery-time Discarded, as this time will be represented in an appropriate trace element. The mappings for elements of MTS.MessageDeliveryEnvelope.other-fields (MTS.OtherMessageDeliveryFields) are: Kille [page 117] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 content-type Mapped to the extended RFC 822 field "X400-Content-Type:". The string "P2" is retained for backwards compatibility with RFC 987. This shall not be generated, and either the EBNF.labelled-integer or EBNF.object-identifier encoding used. originator-name Mapped to the SMTP originator, and to the extended RFC 822 | field "X400-Originator:". This is described in Section 4.6.2. original-encoded-information-types Mapped to the extended RFC 822 field "Original-Encoded-Information-Types:". priority Mapped to the extended RFC 822 field "Priority:". delivery-flags If the conversion-prohibited bit is set, add an extended RFC 822 field "Conversion:". this-recipient-name and other-recipient-names originally-intended-recipient-name The handling of these elements is described in Section 4.6.2. converted-encoded-information-types Discarded. This information will be mapped in the trace. | message-submission-time Mapped to Date:. content-identifier Mapped to the extended RFC 822 field "X400-Content-Identifier:". In RFC 1327, this was "Content-Identifier:". This has been changed to avoid confusion with MIME defined fields. Gateways which reverse map, may support the old field. If any extensions (MTS.MessageDeliveryEnvelope.other-fields.extensions) are Kille [page 118] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 present, and they are marked as critical for transfer or delivery, then the message shall be rejected. The extensions (MTS.MessageDeliveryEnvelope.other-fields.extensions) are mapped as follows. conversion-with-loss-prohibited If set to MTS.ConversionWithLossProhibited.conversion-with-loss-prohibited, then add the extended RFC 822 field "Conversion-With-Loss:". requested-delivery-method Mapped to the extended RFC 822 field "Requested-Delivery-Method:". originator-return-address Mapped to the extended RFC 822 field "Originator-Return-Address:". physical-forwarding-address-request physical-delivery-modes registered-mail-type recipient-number-for-advice physical-rendition-attributes physical-delivery-report-request physical-forwarding-prohibited These elements are only appropriate for physical delivery. They are represented as comments in the "X400-Recipients:" field, as described in Section 4.6.2.2. originator-certificate message-token content-confidentiality-algorithm-identifier content-integrity-check message-origin-authentication-check message-security-label proof-of-delivery-request These elements imply use of security services not available in the RFC 822 environment. If they are marked as critical for transfer or delivery, then the message shall be rejected. Otherwise they are discarded. Kille [page 119] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 redirection-history This is described in Section 4.6.2. dl-expansion-history Each element is mapped to the extended RFC 822 field "DL-Expansion-History:". They shall be ordered in the message header, so that the most recent expansion comes first (same order as trace). If any MTS (or MTA) Extensions not specified in X.400 are present, and they are marked as critical for transfer or delivery, then the message shall be rejected. If they are not so marked, they can safely be discarded. The list of discarded fields shall be indicated in the extended header "Discarded-X400-MTS-Extensions:". 5.3.7. Mappings from the MTA Abstract Service There are some mappings at the MTA Abstract Service level which are done for IPM and IPN. These can be derived from MTA.MessageTransferEnvelope. The reasons for the mappings at this level, and the violation of layering are: - Allowing for multiple recipients to share a single RFC 822 message - Making the X.400 trace information available on the RFC 822 side - Making any information on deferred delivery available The SMTP recipients are calculated from the full list of X.400 | recipients. This is all of the members of MTA.MessageTransferEnvelope.per-recipient-fields being passed through the gateway, where the responsibility bit is set. In some cases, a different RFC 822 message would be calculated for each recipient, due to differing service requests for each recipient. As discussed in 4.6.2.2, this specification allows either for multiple messages to be generated, or for the per- recipient information to be discarded. The following EBNF is defined for extended RFC 822 headers: Kille [page 120] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 mta-field = "X400-Received" ":" x400-trace / "Deferred-Delivery" ":" date-time / "Latest-Delivery-Time" ":" date-time x400-trace = "by" md-and-mta ";" [ "deferred until" date-time ";" ] [ "converted" "(" encoded-info ")" ";" ] [ "attempted" md-or-mta ";" ] action-list ";" arrival-time md-and-mta = [ "mta" mta "in" ] global-id mta = word arrival-time = date-time md-or-mta = "MD" global-id / "MTA" mta Action-list = 1#action action = "Redirected" / "Expanded" / "Relayed" / "Rerouted" Note the EBNF.mta is encoded as 822.word. If the character | set does not allow encoding as 822.atom, the 822.quoted-string encoding is used. If MTA.PerMessageTransferFields.deferred-delivery-time is present, it is used to generate a Deferred-Delivery: field. For some reason, X.400 does not make this information available at the MTS level on delivery. X.400 profiles, and in particular the CEN/CENELEC profile for X.400(1984) [32], specify that this element must be supported at the first MTA. If it is not, the function may optionally be implemented by the gateway: that is, the gateway may hold the message until the time specified in the Kille [page 121] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 protocol element. Thus, the value of this element will usually be in the past. For this reason, the extended RFC 822 field is primarily for information. Merge MTA.PerMessageTransferFields.trace-information, and MTA.PerMessageTransferFields.internal-trace-information to produce a single ordered trace list. If Internal trace from other management domains has not been stripped, this may require complex interleaving. Where an element of internal trace and external trace are identical, except for the MTA in the internal trace, only the internal trace element shall be presented. Use this to generate a sequence of "X400-Received:" fields. The only difference between external trace and internal trace will be the extra MTA information in internal trace elements. When generating an RFC 822 message all trace fields (X400- Received and Received) shall be at the beginning of the header, before any other fields. Trace shall be in chronological order, with the most recent element at the front of the message. This ordering is determined from the order of the fields, not from timestamps in the trace, as there is no guarantee of clock synchronisation. A simple example trace (external) is: X400-Received: by /PRMD=UK.AC/ADMD=Gold 400/C=GB/ ; Relayed ; Tue, 20 Jun 89 19:25:11 +0100 A more complex example (internal): X400-Received: by mta "UK.AC.UCL.CS" in /PRMD=UK.AC/ADMD=Gold 400/C=GB/ ; deferred until Tue, 20 Jun 89 14:24:22 +0100 ; converted (undefined, g3fax) ; attempted /ADMD=Foo/C=GB/ ; Relayed, Expanded, Redirected ; Tue, 20 Jun 89 19:25:11 +0100 The gateway itself shall not add trace information. However, for trace purposes, the gateway shall be considered as an X.400 and Internet MTA back to back, and both of these shall add trace elements. 5.3.8. Mappings from Report Delivery Delivery reports are mapped at the MTS service level. This means that only reports destined for the MTS user will be mapped. Some additional services are also taken from the MTA service. X.400 Kille [page 122] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Delivery Reports are Mapped onto Delivery Status Notifications, as defined by NOTARY [29]. 5.3.8.1. MTS Mappings A Delivery Report service will be represented as MTS.ReportDeliveryEnvelope, which comprises of per-report-fields (MTS.PerReportDeliveryFields) and per-recipient-fields. A message of type delivery-status is generated with the following fields: From: An administrator at the gateway system. This is also the | SMTP originator. To: A mapping of the MTA.ReportTransferEnvelope.report-destination-name. This is | also the SMTP recipient. Message-Type: Set to "Delivery Report". This is strictly redundant, but retained for backwards compatibility with RFC 1327. Subject: The EBNF for the subject line is: subject-line = "Delivery-Report" "(" status ")" [ "for" destination ] status = "success" / "failure" / "success and failures" destination = mailbox / "MTA" word The subject is intended to give a clear indication as to the nature of the message, and summarise its contents. EBNF.status is set according to whether the reports are all successes, all failures, or a mixture. The EBNF.destination is used to indicate the addresses in the reports. If the report is for a single address, EBNF.mailbox is used to give the RFC 822 representation of the address. If all of the reports share a common MTA this is included in EBNF.word. A common MTA is determined from the Kille [page 123] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 delivery report's trace. The format of the body of the message follows the NOTARY delivery status notification format, and is defined to ensure that all information is conveyed to the RFC 822 user in a consistent manner. The format is structured as if it was a message coming from the gateway, with three body parts. The first body part is ASCII text structured as follows: 1. A few lines giving keywords to indicate the original message. 2. A human summary of the status of each recipient being reported on. The second body part is the NOTARY delivery status notification, which contains detailed information extracted from the report. This information may be critical to diagnosing an obscure problem. This body part may be omitted in positive DRs. For RFC 1327, this was recommended as appropriate for most gateways. As NOTARY becomes more widely adopted, this will make less sense. It is likely that this body part will be mandatory in future versions of this specification. The third (optional) body part contains the returned message (return of content). This structure is useful to the RFC 822 recipient, as it enables the original message to be extracted. It shall be included if the original message is available. The enclosing message is a MIME message of content type multipart/report, with report-type=delivery-status. The first body part containing the user oriented description is of type text/plain. The format of this body part is defined below as EBNF.dr-user-info. Kille [page 124] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 dr-user-info = dr-summary dr-recipients dr-content-return dr-content-return = "The Original Message is not available" / "The Original Message follows:" dr-summary = "This report relates to your message:" content-correlator "of" date-time dr-recipients = *(dr-recipient ) dr-recipient = dr-recip-success / dr-recip-failure dr-recip-success = "Your message was successfully delivered to:" mailbox "at" date-time dr-recip-failure = "Your message was not delivered to:" mailbox "for the following reason:" *word report-point = [ "mta" word "in" ] global-id content-correlator = *word EBNF.dr-summary The EBNF.content-correlator is taken from the content correlator (or content identifier if there is no content correlator) and the EBNF.date-time from the trace, as described below. LWSP may be added to improve the layout of the body part. EBNF.dr-recipients There is an element for each recipient in the delivery report. In each case, EBNF.mailbox is taken from the RFC 822 form of the originally specified recipient, which is taken from the originally specified recipient element if present or from the actual recipient. When reporting Kille [page 125] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 success, the message delivery time is used to derive EBNF.date-time. When reporting failure, the information includes a human readable interpretation of the X.400 diagnostic and reason codes, and the supplementary information. EBNF.dr-content-return This is set according to whether or not the content is being returned. The EBNF of this body part is designed for english-speaking users. The language of the strings in the EBNF may be altered. The EBNF used in the delivery status notification is: dr-per-message-fields = / "X400-Conversion-Date" ":" date-time / "X400-Subject-Submision-Identifier" ":" mts-msg-id / "X400-Content-Identifier" ":" printablestring / "X400-Content-Type" ":" mts-content-type / "X400-Original-Encoded-Information-Types" ":" encoded-info / "X400-Originator-and-DL-Expansion-History" ":" dl-history / "X400-Reporting-DL-Name" ":" mailbox / "X400-Content-Correlator" ":" content-correlator / "X400-Recipient-Info" ":" recipient-info / "X400-Subject-Intermediate-Trace-Information" ":" x400-trace / dr-extensions Kille [page 126] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 dr-per-recipient-fields = / "X400-Redirect-Recipient" ":" "x400" ";" std-or / "X400-Mapped-Redirect-Recipient" ":" "rfc822" ";" mailbox / "X400-Converted-EITs" ":" encoded-info ";" / "X400-Delivery-Time" ":" date-time / "X400-Type-of-MTS-User" ":" labelled-integer / "X400-Last-Trace" ":" [ encoded-info ] date-time / "X400-Supplementary-Info" ":" <"> printablestring <"> ";" / "X400-Redirection-History" ":" redirection-comment / "X400-Physical-Forwarding-Address" ":" printablestring / "X400-Originally-Specified-Recipient-Number" ":" integer / dr-extensions dr-extensions = "X400-Discarded-DR-Extensions" ":" 1# (object-identifier / labelled-integer) dl-history = 1#( mailbox "(" date-time ")") / "X400-Diagnostic" ":" labelled-integer / "X400-Reason" ":" labelled-integer dr-diagnostic = "Reason" labelled-integer [ ";" "Diagnostic" labelled-integer ] A body part of type delivery status, as defined by NOTARY, is generated. MIXER extends this delivery status notification (DSN) specification, by defining additional per message fields in EBNF.dr-per-message-fields and additional per recipient fields in EBNF.dr-per-recipient-fields. These are used as extensions to DSN.per-message-fields and DSN.per-recipient-fields. The following DSN.per-message-fields are always generated: DSN.reporting-mta-field The DSN.mta-name-type is set to "x400", and this string is reserved by MIXER. The DSN.mta-name has its syntax specified by EBNF.report-point, with the information derived from the first element of the DR's trace. Kille [page 127] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 DSN.arrival-date-field This is derived from the date of the first element of trace in the DR. The following two EBNF.per-message-fields are generated by the MIXER gateway: DSN.dsn-gateway-field The type is set to "dns" and the domain set to the local domain of the gateway. X400-Conversion-Date: The EBNF.date-time is set to the time of the MIXER conversion. The elements of MTS.ReportDeliveryEnvelope.per-report-fields are mapped as follows onto the DSN per message fields as follows: subject-submission-identifier Mapped to DSN.original-envelope-id-field. The encoding of this MTS Identifier follows the format EBNF.mts-msg-id. content-identifier Mapped to X400-Content-Identifier: content-type Mapped to X400-Content-Type: original-encoded-information-types Mapped to X400-Encoded-Info: The extensions from MTS.ReportDeliveryEnvelope.per-report-fields.extensions are mapped as follows: originator-and-DL-expansion-history Mapped to X400-Originator-and-DL-Expansion-History: reporting-DL-name Mapped to X400-Reporting-DL-Name: content-correlator Mapped to X400-Content-Correlator:, provided that the encoding is IA5String (this will always be the case). Kille [page 128] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 message-security-label reporting-MTA-certificate report-origin-authentication-check These security parameters will not be present unless there is an error in a remote MTA. If they are present, they shall be discarded in preference to discarding the whole report. They shall be listed in the X400-Discarded-DR- Extensions: field. If there are any other DR extensions, they shall also be discarded and listed in the X400-Discarded-DR-Extensions: field. For each element of MTS.ReportDeliveryEnvelope.per-recipient-fields, a set of DSN.per-recipient-fields is generated. The fields are filled in as follows: actual-recipient-name If originally-intended-recipient-name is not present, | generate a DSN.final-recipient-field fields, with | DSN.address-type of "rfc822", and with an RFC 822 mailbox generated from the address encoded as specified by NOTARY. Also generate a DSN.original-recipient-field field, which holds the X.400 representation of the same address. If the directory name is present, it should be added as a trailing comment in the X.400 form. If originally-intended-recipient-name is present, generate | an "X400-Mapped-Redirect-Recipient:" field, with | DSN.address-type of "rfc822", and with an RFC 822 mailbox generated from the address encoded as specified by NOTARY. Also generate an X400-Redirect-Recipient:" field, which holds the X.400 representation of the same address. If the directory name is present, it should be added as a trailing comment in the X.400 form. report If it is MTS.Report.delivery, then set DSN.action-field to "delivered", and set "X400-Delivery-Time:" and "X400-Type-of-MTS-User:" from the information in the report. DSN.status field is set to "2.0.0". If it is MTS.Report.non-delivery, then set DSN.action-field Kille [page 129] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 to "failure". DSN.diagnostic-code-field is encoded according to the syntax EBNF.dr-diagnostic, with the labelled integers set from the reason and diagnotic codes. DSN.status-field is derived from the reason and diagnostic codes, as described below. converted-encoded-information-types Set X400-Converted-EITs: originally-intended-recipient Generate a DSN.final-recipient-field field, with | DSN.address-type of "rfc822", and with an RFC 822 mailbox generated from the address encoded as specified by NOTARY. Also generate a DSN.original-recipient-field field, which holds the X.400 representation of the same address. If the directory name is present, it should be added as a trailing comment in the X.400 form. supplementary-info Set X400-Supplementary-Info: redirection-history Set X400-Redirection-History: physical-forwarding-address Set X400-Physical-Forwarding-Address: recipient-certificate Discard proof-of-delivery Discard Any unknown extensions shall be discarded, irrespective of criticality. All discarded extensions shall be included in a "X400-Discarded-DR-Extensions:" field. The number from the MTA.PerRecipientReportTransferFields.originally-specified-recipient-number shall be mapped to "X400-Originally-Specified-Recipient-Number:", in order to facilitate reverse mapping of delivery reports. The original message shall be included in the delivery status notification if it is available. The original message will Kille [page 130] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 usually be available at the gateway, as discussed in Section 5.2. If the original message is available, but is not a legal message | format, a dump of the ASN.1 may be included, encoded as application/octet-string. This is recommended, but not required. Where the original message is included, it shall be encoded according to the MIME specifications as content type message/rfc822. 5.3.8.2. Status Code Mappings This section defines the mappings from X.400 diagnostic and status codes to the NOTARY Status field. C/D X400 meaning DSN code Means 0/Any Transfer failure (may be temporary) 4.4.0 Other net/route 1/Any Unable to transfer 5.0.0 Other, unknown 2/Any Conversion not performed 5.6.3 Conv not supported 3/Any Physical rendition not performed 5.6.0 Other media error 4/Any Physical delivery not performed 5.1.0 Other address status 5/Any Restricted delivery 5.7.1 6/Any Directory operation unsuccessful 5.4.3 Routing server failure 7/Any Deferred delivery not performed 5.3.3 Not capable Kille [page 131] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 1/0 Unrecognized O/R name 5.1.1 1/1 Ambiguous O/R name 5.1.4 1/2 MTS congestion 4.3.1 1/3 Loop detected 5.4.6 1/4 Recipient unavailable 4.2.1 1/5 Delivery time expired 4.4.7 1/6 Encoded information types unsupported 5.6.1 Media unsupp. 1/7 Content too long 5.2.3 2/8 Conversion impractical 5.6.3 2/9 Conversion prohibited 5.6.3 1/10 Implicit conversion not subscribed 5.6.3 1/11 Invalid arguments 5.5.2 1/12 Content syntax error 5.5.2 1/13 Size constraint violation 5.5.2 1/14 Protocol violation 5.5.0 1/15 Content type not supported 5.6.1 Media unsupp. 1/16 Too many recipients 5.5.3 1/17 No bilateral agreement 5.4.4 1/18 Unsupported critical function 5.3.3 System not capable 2/19 Conversion with loss prohibited 5.6.2 2/20 Line too long 5.6.0 2/21 Page split 5.6.0 2/22 Pictorial symbol loss 5.6.2 2/23 Punctuation symbol loss 5.6.2 2/24 Alphabetic character loss 5.6.2 2/25 Multiple information loss 5.6.2 1/26 Recipient reassignment prohibited 5.4.0 Undefined net/route 1/27 Redirection loop detected 5.4.6 1/28 DL expansion prohibited 5.7.2 1/29 No DL submit permission 5.7.1 Delivery not authorized 1/30 DL expansion failure 4.2.4 4/31 Physical rendition attrs not supported 5.6.0 Undefined media error 4/32-45 Various physical mail stuff 5.1.0 Other address status 1/46 Secure messaging error 5.7.0 Other security status 2/47 Unable to downgrade 5.3.3 System not capable 0/48 Unable to complete transfer 5.3.4 Message too big 0/49 Transfer attempts limit reached 4.4.7 Delivery time expired 5.3.8.3. MTA Mappings The single SMTP recipient is constructed from | Kille [page 132] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 MTA.ReportTransferEnvelope.report-destination-name, using the mappings of Chapter 4. Unlike with a user message, this information is not available at the MTS level. The following additional mappings are made, which results in fields in the outer header of the DSN. MTA.ReportTransferEnvelope.report-destination-name This is used to generate the To: field. MTA.ReportTransferEnvelope.identifier Mapped to the extended RFC 822 field "X400-MTS-Identifier:". It may also be used to derive a "Message-Id:" field. MTA.ReportTransferEnvelope.trace-information and MTA.ReportTransferEnvelope.internal-trace-information Mapped onto the extended RFC 822 field "X400-Received:", as described in Section 5.3.7. The following additional mappings are made, which result in per message fields in the DSN body part: MTA.PerRecipientReportTransferFields.last-trace-information Mapped to X400-Last-Trace:". MTA.PerReportTransferFields.subject-intermediate-trace- information Mapped to X400-Subject-Intermediate-Trace-Information:". These fields are ordered so that the most recent trace element comes first. 5.3.8.4. Example Delivery Reports This section contains sample delivery reports. These are the same examples used in RFC 1327, and so they also illustrate the changes between RFC 1327 and this document.

The value of the reply is dependent on whether the gateway could service an MTS Message with the values specified in the probe. The reply shall make use of MTS.SupplementaryInformation to indicate that the probe was serviced by the gateway. Kille [page 138] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Appendix A - Mappings Specific to SMTP This Appendix is specific to the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (RFC 821). It describes specific changes in the context of this | protocol. When MIXER is used with SMTP, conformance to this | appendix is mandatory. 6. Probes When servicing a probe, as described in section 5.3.9, use may be made of the SMTP VRFY command to increase the accuracy of information contained in the delivery report. 7. Long Lines SMTP is a text oriented protocol, and is required to support a line length of at least 1000 characters. Some implementations do not support line lengths greater than 1000 characters. This can cause problems. Where body parts have long lines, it is recommended to use a MIME encoding that folds lines (quoted printable). 8. SMTP Extensions There are several RFCs that specify extensions to SMTP. Most of these are not relevant to MIXER. The NOTARY work to support delivery report defines extensions which are relevant [30]. Use of these extensions by a MIXER gateway is optional. If these extensions are used, they shall be used in the manner described below. | Editor's Note: | It has been proposed to make these extensions mandatory. | Input is solicited. 8.1. SMTP Extension mapping to X.400 Mappings are defined for the following extensions: NOTIFY | This is used to set the report and non-delivery bits of MTS.MTS.PerRecipientMessageSubmissionFields.originator-report-request. If the value is NEVER, both bits are zero. If SUCCESS is present, the report bit is set. Otherwise, the non- Kille [page 139] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 delivery-report bit is set. If the gateway uses the NOTIFY command, it shall perform this mapping in all cases. ORCPT | This may be used at the MTS level, to generate an element of redirection history, with the redirection date being the date of conversion. 8.2. X.400 Mapping to SMTP Extensions The following extensions may be used as a part of the MIXER mapping: NOTIFY | The report and non-delivery bits of MTS.MTS.PerRecipientMessageSubmissionFields.originator-report-request determine how this is used. If both bits are zero, the parameter is NEVER. If the report bit is set, SUCCESS is used. Otherwise, FAILURE is used. If this is done, the gateway shall not generate a delivery report for this recipient. ORCPT | If the MTS.perRecipientReportDeliveryFields.originally-intended-recipient-name is present, the ORCPT command may be used to carry this value. ENVID | This may be generated, with the value taken from the MTS.MessgeDeliveryEnvelope.message-delivery-identifer, encoded as EBNF.mts-msg-id. Kille [page 140] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Appendix B - Mapping with X.400(1984) This appendix defines modifications to the mapping for use with | X.400(1984). The X.400(1984) protocols are a proper subset of X.400(1988). When mapping from X.400(1984) to RFC 822, no changes to this specification are needed. When mapping from RFC 822 to X.400(1984), no use can be made of 1988 specific features. No use of such features is made at the MTS level. One feature is used at the IPMS level, and this must be replaced by the RFC 987 approach. All header information which would usually be mapped into the rfc-822-heading-list | extension is mapped into a single IA5 body part, which is the | first body part in the message. This body part will start with the string "RFC-822-Headers:" as the first line. The headers then follow this line. This specification requires correct reverse mapping of this format, either from 1988 or 1984. RFC 822 extended headers which could be mapped into X.400(1988) elements, are also mapped to the body part. In an environment where RFC 822 is of major importance, it may be desirable for downgrading to consider the case where the message was originated in an RFC 822 system, and mapped according to this specification. The rfc-822-heading-list extension may be mapped according to this appendix. When parsing std-or, the following restrictions must be observed: - Only the 84/88 attributes identified in the table in Section 4.2 are present. - No teletex encoding is allowed. If an address violates this, it should be treated as an RFC 822 address, which will usually lead to encoding as a DDA "RFC-822". It is possible that null attributes may be present in an O/R Address. This is not legal in 1988, except for ADMD where the case is explicitly described in Section 4.3.5. Null attributes are deprecated (the attribute should be omitted), and should Kille [page 141] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 therefore be unusual. However, some systems generate them and rely on them. Therefore, any null attribute shall be enoded using the std-or encoding (e.g., /O=/). If a non-Teletex Common Name (CN) is present, it should be mapped onto a Domain Defined Attribute "Common". This is in line with RFC 1328 on X.400 1988 to 1984 downgrading [23]. This specification defines a mapping of the Internet message framework to X.400. Body part mappings are defined in RFC | 1494bis , which relies on X.400(88) features. Downgrading to [ X.400(84) for body parts is defined in RFC 1496 (HARPOON), which [ shall be followed in the context of this appendix [6]. [ Kille [page 142] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Appendix C - RFC 822 Extensions for X.400 access [ This appendix defines a number of optional mappings which may be [ provided to give access from RFC 822 to a number of X.400 [ services.

Global Mapping Information The consistent operation of gateways which follow this specification relies of the existence of three globally defined mappings: 1. Domain Name Space -> O/R Address Space 2. O/R Address Space -> Domain Name Space 3. Domain Name Space -> O/R Address of preferred gateway All gateways conforming to this specification shall have access | to and use these mappings. The gateway may use standardised or private mechanisms to access this mapping information. One means of distributing this information is in three files. This appendix defines a format for these files. 2. Mechanisms to register and to distribute Mapping Rules The global coordination of the mapping rules is a part of the DANTE MailFLOW Project. New mapping rules can be defined by the authority responsible for the relevant name space. The rules must be registered with a national mapping registration authority, which in turn passes them on to the central mapping registration authority. All the collected mapping rules are merged together into the globally coordinated mapping tables by the MailFLOW Project Team. The three tables are available from the national mapping registration authorities. To get a contact address of the mapping registration authority for the respective country or more information about the MailFLOW Kille [page 156] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Project contact: SWITCH MailFLOW Project Team Limmatquai 138 8001 Zuerich Switzerland email: mailflow@mailflow.dante.net S=MailFLOW;O=MailFLOW;P=DANTE;A=mailnet;C=fi; fax: +41 1 268 15 68 tel: +41 1 268 15 20 3. Syntax Definitions An address syntax is defined, which is compatible with the syntax used for 822.domains. By representing the O/R addresses as domains, all lookups can be mechanically implemented as domain -> domain mappings. This syntax defined is initially for use in table format, but the syntax is defined in a manner which makes it suitable to be adapted for use with the Domain Name Service. This syntax allows for a general representation of O/R addresses, so that it can be used in other applications. Not all attributes are used in the table formats defined. To allow the mapping of null attributes to be represented, the pseudo-value "@" (not a printable string character) is used to indicate omission of a level in the hierarchy. This is distinct from the form including the element with no value, although a correct X.400 implementation will interpret both in the same manner. This syntax is not intended to be handled by users. Kille [page 157] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 dmn-or-address = dmn-part *( "." dmn-part ) mn-part = dmn-attribute "$" value dmn-attribute = standard-type / "~" dmn-printablestring value = dmn-printablestring / "@" dmn-printablestring = = *( dmn-char / dmn-pair ) dmn-char = <"{", "}", "*", and any ps-char except "."> dmn-pair = "\." An example usage: ~ROLE$Big\.Chief.ADMD$ATT.C$US PRMD$DEC.ADMD$@.C$US The first example illustrates quoting of a "." and a domain define attribute (ROLE). The second example illustrates omission of the ADMD level. There must be a strict ordering of all components in this table, with the most significant components on the RHS. This allows the encoding to be treated as a domain. Various further restrictions are placed on the usage of dmn-or-address in the address space mapping tables. 1. Only C, ADMD, PRMD, O, and up to four OUs may be used. 2. No components shall be omitted from this hierarchy, although the hierarchy may terminate at any level. If the mapping is to an omitted component, the "@" syntax is used. 4. Table Lookups When determining a match, there are aspects which apply to all lookups. Matches are always case independent. The key for all three tables is a domain. The longest possible match shall be obtained. Suppose the table has two entries with the following keys: Kille [page 158] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 K.L J.K.L Domain "A.B.C" will not return any matches. Domain "I.J.K.L" will match the entry "J.K.L:. 5. Domain -> O/R Address format The BNF is: domain-syntax "#" dmn-or-address "#" EBNF.domain-syntax is defined in Section 4.2. Note that the trailing "#" is used for clarity, as the dmn-or-address syntax might lead to values with trailing blanks. Lines starting with "#" are comments. For example: AC.UK#PRMD$UK\.AC.ADMD$GOLD 400.C$GB# XEROX.COM#O$Xerox.ADMD$ATT.C$US# GMD.DE#O$@.PRMD$GMD.ADMD$DBP.C$DE# A domain is looked up to determine the top levels of an O/R Address. Components of the domain which are not matched are used to build the remainder of the O/R address, as described in Section 4.3.4. 6. O/R Address -> Domain format The syntax of this table is: dmn-or-address "#" domain-syntax "#" For example: # # Mapping table # PRMD$UK\.AC.ADMD$GOLD 400.C$GB#AC.UK# The O/R Address is used to generate a domain key. It is important to order the components correctly, and to fill in Kille [page 159] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 missing components in the hierarchy. Use of this mapping is described in Section 4.3.2. 7. Domain -> O/R Address of Gateway table This uses the same format as the domain -> O/R address mapping. In this case, the restriction to only use C/ADMD/PRMD/O/OU does not apply. Use of this mapping is described in Section 4.3.4. A domain cannot appear in this table and in the domain to O/R Address table. Kille [page 160] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Appendix G - Conformance This appendix defines a number of options, which a conforming gateway should specify. Conformance to this specification shall not be claimed if any of the mandatory features are not implemented. A specification of conformance may list the service elements of Chapter 2, in order to be clear that full conformance is provied. In particular: - Formats for all fields shall be followed. - The global mappings shall be supported. - Formats for subject lines, delivery reports and IPNs shall be followed. A system which followed the syntax, but translated text into a language other than english would be conformant. - RFC 1137 shall not be followed when mapping to SMTP. - All mappings of trace shall be implemented. - There must be a mechanism to access all three global mappings. - RFC 1494bis shall be followed for mapping body parts. | - When it is specified that a MIME format message is generated, RFC 1521 shall be followed. A gateway should specify: - Which Interent Message Transport (822-MTS) protocols are | supported. If SMTP is supported, Appendex A of MIXER shall be used. - Which X.400 versions are supported (84, 88, 92). - The means by which it can access the global mappings. Currently, the tables of the formats define in Appendix F is the only means available. - The mechanism or mechanisms by which the global mapping * Kille [page 161] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 information is accessed. The following are optional parts of this specification. A conforming implementation should specify which of these it supports. - Generation of extended RFC 822 fields is mandatory. Optionally, they may be parsed and mapped back to X.400. A gateway should should indicate if this is done, listing the mappings performed according to each service element of Chapter 2. - Support for the extension mappings of Appendix C. - Support for returning illegal format content in a delivery report - Which address interpretation heuristics are supported (4.3.4.1) - If RFC 987 generated message ids are handled in a backwards compatible manner (4.7.3.6) - Support for FTBP. Kille [page 162] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Appendix H - Change History: RFC 987, 1026, 1138, 1148 RFC 987 was the original document, and contained the key elements of this specification. It was specific to X.400(1984). RFC 1026 specified a small number of necessary changes to RFC 987. RFC 1138 was based on the RFC 987 work. It contained an editorial error, and was reissued a few months later as RFC 1148. RFC 1148 will be referred to here, as it is the document which is widely referred to elsewhere. The major goal of RFC 1148 was to upgrade RFC 987 to X.400(1988). It did this, but did not obsolete RFC 987, which was recommended for use with X.400(1984). This appendix summarises the changes made in going from RFC 987 to RFC 1148. RFC 1148 noted the following about its upgrade from RFC 987: Unnecessary change is usually a bad idea. Changes on the RFC 822 side are avoided as far as possible, so that RFC 822 users do not see arbitrary differences between systems conforming to this specification, and those following RFC 987. Changes on the X.400 side are minimised, but are more acceptable, due to the mapping onto a new set of services and protocols. 1. Introduction The model has shifted from a protocol based mapping to a service based mapping. This has increased the generality of the specification, and improved the model. This change affects the entire document. A restriction on scope has been added. 2. Service Elements - The new service elements of X.400 are dealt with. - A clear distinction is made between origination and reception Kille [page 163] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 3. Basic Mappings - Add teletex support - Add object identifier support - Add labelled integer support - Make PrintableString <-> ASCII mapping reversible - The printable string mapping is aligned to the NBS mapping derived from RFC 987. 4. Addressing - Support for new addressing attributes - The message ID mapping is changed to not be table driven 5. Detailed Mappings - Define extended IPM Header, and use instead of second body part for RFC 822 extensions - Realignment of element names - New syntax for reports, simplifying the header and introducing a mandatory body format (the RFC 987 header format was unusable) - Drop complex autoforwarded mapping - Add full mapping for IP Notifications, defining a body format - Adopt an MTS Identifier syntax in line with the O/R Address syntax - A new format for X400 Trace representation on the RFC 822 side Kille [page 164] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 6. Appendices - Move Appendix on restricted 822 mappings to a separate RFC - Delete Phonenet and SMTP Appendixes Kille [page 165] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Appendix I - Change History: RFC 1148 to RFC 1327 1. General - The scope of the document was changed to cover X.400(1984), and so obsolete RFC 987. - Changes were made to allow usage to connect RFC 822 networks using X.400 - Text was tightened to be clear about optional and mandatory aspects - A good deal of clarification - A number of minor EBNF errors - Better examples are given - Further X.400 upper bounds are handled correctly 2. Basic Mappings - The encoding of object identifier is changed slightly 3. Addressing - A global mapping of domain to preferred gateway is introduced. - An overflow mechanism is defined for RFC 822 addresses of greater than 128 bytes - Changes were made to improve compatibility with the PDAM on writing O/R Addresses. + The PD and Terminal Type keywords were aligned to the PDAM. It is believed that minimal use has been made of the RFC 1148 keywords. Kille [page 166] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 + P and A are allowed as alternate keys for PRMD and ADMD + Where keywords are different, the PDAM keywords are alternatives on input. This is mandatory. 4. Detailed Mappings - The format of the Subject: lines is defined. - Illegal use (repetition) of the heading EXTENSION is corrected, and a new object identifier assigned. - The Delivery Report format is extensively revised in light of operational experience. - The handling of redirects is significantly changed, as the previous mechanism did not work. 5. Appendices - An SMTP appendix is added, allowing optional use of the VRFY command to improve probe information. - Handling of JNT Mail Acknowledge-To is changed slightly. - A DDA JNT-MAIL is allowed on input. - The format definitions of Appendix F are explained further, and a third table definition added. - An appendix on use with X.400(1984) is added. - Optional extensions are defined to give RFC 822 access to further X.400 facilities. - An appendix on conformance is added. Kille [page 167] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 Appendix J - Change History: RFC 1327 to this Document 1. General This update is primarily for stability, and to fold in compatibility for MIME and to add support for the new NOTARY delivery status notifications. Other general changes: - Various editorial updates - Minor EBNF errors - Reference to mapping table support by DNS and X.500. - Alignment to X.400(92) - Assignment of a new object identifier - Support for the EMA profile of the File Transfer Body Part. 2. Service Elements - Support of Auto-Submitted service 3. Basic Mappings - Comments may not be used in new headers, to remove parsing ambiguity - RFC 1522 encoding may be used as an alternative to X.408 downgrade, where appropriate. 4. Addressing - Restructure of text to emphasise the global mappings - Add codes and add a heuristic to align to the standard X.400 form of writing O/R Addresses. Kille [page 168] RFC 1327bis MIXER DRAFT Version 2.2 - Improved text on ordering heuristic - Leading "/" interpretation added | - All bar one of the address mapping heuristics made | mandatory. | - Interpretation of domain defined attribute "RFC-822" made | mandatory in all cases | - Make report request comments optional 5. Detailed Mappings - Comments no longer maps to separate body part | - Allow Langauges to be multi-valued - Change Content-Identifier to X400-Content-Identifier, in order to avoid confusion with MIME. | - Reverse mapping of MIXER defined fields made mandatory 6. Appendices - Relaxation of restrictions on mapping 3 in Appendix F. - Add linkage to HARPOON in Appendix B. - RFC 1494bis added to the conformance statement of Appendix | G.
