report, OSI/MHS does not send a notification because such behavior would be
contrary to the X.400 recommendations. Instead, it produces an unroutable report
event message, as described in Unroutable Messages and Nondelivery Reports on
page 9-25.)
Table 9-1 and Table 9-2 summarize the OSI/MHS attributes used in association
establishment and indicates relationships among the attributes.
For the MTAs to establish an association, the underlying OSI subsystems must also
have matching configurations. For information about the proper configuration of the
OSI services to support OSI/MHS connections, see Appendix D, OSI Address
Configuration in OSI/MHS.
