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

July 1981 RFC 786
ISI TOPS20 MTP-NIMAIL Interface
user%host%host%host@
And each address in the same file has the same "@host" part
The date-time will be in the default TOPS20 ODTIM
"dd-mmm-yy hh:mm:ss" (24 hour time).
The files will named "arbitrary.NIMAIL.-1", where "arbitrary"
be somesort of date-time encoding for human uses. The NIMAIL
not care in the least what the "arbitrary" part is. These
will be placed into the NIMAIL directory on ISIE
The NIMAIL and MTP will each perform a transformation of the
information to create the appropriate input for the other system
NIMAIL to
The mail that arrives at NIMAIL with the
joe%hostx%hosty%hostz@
will be presented to MTP with the
FROM:
TO: <@hostz,@hosty,joe@hostx
MTP to
The mail that arrives at MTP with the
FROM:
TO: <@ISIE,@hostz,@hosty,joe@hostx
will be presented to NIMAIL with the
joe%hostx%hosty@

if you see any problems within the linking, don't worry be happy,
this is version 0.1 of the Relevance System and you gotta expect some crappy subroutines sometimes,
just be content we did not write this in Java, which would have made this "bigger and better" HAHAHHA.
