Configuring Message Routing

X.400 Address Spaces

When defining an X.400 address space for a connector, you must provide the country/region name, administrative management domain name, and at least one of the following: private management domain name (p), organization name (o), or organizational unit name (ou). For example, an X.400 address space might look as follows:

p=Microsoft;o=NorthAmerica;a=<carrier>;c=US;

If you are specifying a recipient address, you must specify a surname (s); however, you can also specify a given name (g), common name (cn), initials (I), and a generation qualifier (q). For example, an X.400 recipient address might look as follows:

g=Suzan;s=Fine;cn=Suzan Fine;o=NorthAmerica;p=Microsoft;a=<carrier>;c=US;

Attributes for X.400 address spaces and recipient addresses are shown in the following table.
