MAIL TRANSFER PROTOCOL: ISI TOPS20 MTP-NIMAIL INTERFACE

INTRODUCTION This document defines the ISI TOPS20s interface between the Mail Transfer Protocol (MTP) and the Network Independent Mail Protocol (NIMAIL) in terms of the files which implement it. The internal structure and name of each file is described below. For a complete understanding of the MTP protocol as well as the terms used within this document, see RFC 780 "Mail Transfer Protocol", RFC 784 "ISI TOPS20 Implementation", and RFC 785 "ISI TOPS20 File Defintitions". The NIMAIL is documented in IEN 169, "A Simple NIFTP-Based Mail System". DESCRIPTION 1. NIMAIL to MTP NIMAIL will present mail for processing by MTP using the files specified in RFC 785. 2. MTP to NIMAIL MTP will present mail for processing by NIMAIL in files of the following form: address address address Via: USC-ISIE; date-time header . . . body . . . Where each address is of the form:

The files will be somesort of not care in the will be placed DISCUSSION The NIMAIL and MTP will each perform a transformation of the address information to create the appropriate input for the other system. NIMAIL to MTP The mail that arrives at NIMAIL with the information joe%hostx%hosty%hostz@isie will be presented to MTP with the information FROM: TO: <@hostz,@hosty,joe@hostx> MTP to NIMAIL The mail that arrives at MTP with the information FROM: TO: <@ISIE,@hostz,@hosty,joe@hostx> will be presented to NIMAIL with the information joe%hostx%hosty@hostz Via: ISIE named "arbitrary.NIMAIL.-1", date-time encoding for human least what the "arbitrary" into the NIMAIL directory on where "arbitrary" will uses. The NIMAIL will part is. These files ISIE.
