9、mmendation X.484 was revised by ITU-T Study Group 7 (1997-2000) and was approved under the WTSC Resolution No. 1 procedure on the 25th of September 1998. As a result of Study Group 7 decision to publish a consolidated new edition of the set of Message Handling Recommen- dations, it was decided that,
10、 in agreement with the TSB Director, X.481, X.482, X.483, X.484 and X.486 will also be published with 1999 dates. Recommendation X.484 (06/99) i FOREWORD ITU (International Telecommunication Union) is the United Nations Specialized Agency in the field of telecommuni- cations. The ITU Telecommunicati
11、on Standardization Sector (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 Con
12、ference (WTSC), which 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
13、areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with IS0 and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation the term recognized operating agency (ROA) includes any individual, company, corporation or governmental organization that ope
14、rates a public correspondence service. The terms Administration, ROA and public correspondence are defined in the Constitution of the ITU (Geneva, 1992). INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS The ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the
15、 use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. The ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recomme
16、ndation, the ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementors are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database.

19、ion X.484 (06/99) . 111 . i- Introduction This Recommendation is one in a set of Recommendations defining Message Handling in a distributed open system environment. Message Handling provides for the exchange of messages between users on a store-and-forward basis. A message submitted by one user (the
20、 originator) is transferred through the Message Transfer System (MTS) and delivered to one or more users (the recipients). The MTS comprises a number of Message Transfer Agents (MTAs), which transfer messages and deliver them to their recipients. To evaluate the capabilities of a particular implemen
21、tation, it is necessary to have a statement of which capabilities and options have been implemented for a given OS1 protocol. Such statement is called a Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS). iv Recommendation X.484 (06/99) Recommendation X.484 MESSAGE HANDLING SYSTEMS - P7 PROTOCOL P
22、ICS PROFORMA 1 Scope This Recommendation provides the Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma for the P7 protocol specified in ITU-T Rec. X.413 I ISOAEC 10021-5 and ITU-T Rec. X.419 I ISO/IEC 10021-6. The PICS proforma presents in tabular form the mandatory and optional element
23、s of the P7 protocol. Two PICS proformas are provided. Annex A is the PICS proforma for Message Store Access for the 1994 and subsequent versions of the MHS Recommendations I International Standards. Annex B is the PICS proforma for Message Store Access for the 1988 version of the MHS Recommendation
24、s I International Standards. This PICS proforma is based on the relevant guidance for PICS proformas given in ITU-T Rec. X.296 I ISOAEC 9646-7. 2 Normative references The following Recommendations and International Standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provis
25、ions of this Recommendation I International Standard. At the time of publicacion, the editions indicated were valid. All Recommendations and Standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this Recommendation I International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibilit
26、y of applying the most recent edition of the Recommendations and Standards listed below. Members of IEC and IS0 maintain registers of currently valid International Standards. The Telecommunication Standardization Bureau of the ITU maintains a list of currently valid IT-T Recommendations. 2.1 Identic

44、is to provide suppliers of implementations of the P7 protocol with a consistent means of stating which proforma has been implemented. The proforma is in the form of a questionnaire and consists of a set of items. An item is provided for each capability for which an implementation choice is allowed.
45、Items are also provided for mandatory capabilities for which no implementation choice is allowed. Each item includes an item number, an item description, a status value specifying the support requirement, and room for a support answer to be provided by the supplier. A.0.1.2 Item numbering Each line
46、in the PICS proforma which requires implementation detail to be entered is given a number in the first column. The item number column provides a means of uniquely referencing each possible answer within the PICS proforma. A.0.1.3 Base column In each table, the “Base“ column reflects the level of sup
47、port required for conformance to the base standard. The following classifications are used in this PICS to specify static conformance requirements - Le. capability. NOTE -The Profile column is used for functional profiles and uses the same classification. In the case of protocol elements, the classi

Where the constituent elements of a non-primitive element are not individually specified, then each shall be considered to have the classification of that element. Where the range of values to be supported for an element is not specifie

An implementation shall be able to generate the element, and/or receive the element and perform all associated procedures (i.e. implying the ability to handle both the syntax and the semantics of the element) as relevant, as specified in the MHS base standards. Where support for origination (generation) and reception are not distinguished, then both capabilities shall be assumed. Mandatory support of an MS attribute for the MS requi
