Using the Internet DNS to Distribute MIXER Conformant Global Address Mapping
RFC 2163, “Using the Internet DNS to Distribute MIXER Conformant Global Address Mapping”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 1998 by C. Allocchio. It obsoletes RFC 1664. It has since been updated by RFC 3597. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memo is the complete technical specification to store in the Internet Domain Name System (DNS) the mapping information (MCGAM) needed by MIXER conformant e-mail gateways and other tools to map RFC822 domain names into X.400 O/R names and vice versa. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
