Source The ITU-T Recommendation X.412 was approved on the

8、18 June 1999. The identical text is also published as ISO/IEC International Standard 10021-10. ITU-T Rec. X.412 (1999 E) i FOREWORD ITU (International Telecommunication Union) is the United Nations Specialized Agency in the field of telecommuni- cations. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sec

9、tor (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of the ITU. The ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which

10、meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T Study Groups which, in their turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of Recommendations by the Members of the ITU-T is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution No. 1. In some areas of information t

11、echnology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with IS0 and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. INTE

30、ction This Recommendation I International Standard is one of a series of Recommendations I International Standards defining Message Handling in a distributed open systems environment. Message Handling provides for the exchange of messages between users on a store-and-forward basis. A message submitt

31、ed by one user (the originator) is transferred through the message-transfer-system (MTS) and delivered to one or more other users (the recipients). This Recommendation I International Standard defines a method for routing messages through the Message Handling System (MHS). This Recommendation I Inte

32、rnational Standard has been produced by joint ITU-T - ISO/IEC agreement. The corres- ponding documents are ITU-T Rec. X.412 and ISO/IEC 10021-10. vi ITU-T Rec.
