It enables all participants to exchange mail using third party WEPs with appropriate network connectivity. Where more than one common network exists, managers can define their preferred network. After reception of a valid update a new international mapping table is created and archived on the file server for retrieval. The tables are also actively distributed once every month according an agreed schedule. Correct mapping tables and correct function of the tools is of major concern for the Project Team.
Errors can lead to lots of routing and addressing problems immediately perceived by end users.
The Project Team handles problems if there are conflicting rules. This has not been necessary during the reported period. Since the address of the Project Team is included in the two Internet RFCs defining gateway behaviour and operation, two organisations approached the Project Team to understand the mapping registry procedures and to get the tables. This will eliminate one of the major drawbacks of SMTP for the reliable usage mandated by commercial user communities. It adds the missing functionality for deploying SMTP within and between commercial organisations who need a reliable and controllable mail system.
