Configuring the X400 Depot
(_X400_)
When the TRANSFER X400 gateway is configured at a gateway node, the special
depot _X400_ is created. This depot is used to hold messages that are being exported
or imported and to retain those messages for a period of time.
If the gateway imports a message that refers to another X.400 message, it checks for the
TRANSFER equivalent of that other message. Because previous messages are held in
the special _X400_ depot, an X.400 message that refers to an older message can be
translated into a TRANSFER message with the older TRANSFER equivalent message
attached.
Messages are kept in the following folders:
INBOX—holds messages to be exported; placed here by TAREQ before the
exporter processes them
X400-EXPORT—holds messages that were successfully exported
X400-EXPORT-PROBLEM—holds messages that were not exported because of a
problem
X400-IMPORT—holds messages that were successfully imported
X400-IMPORT-PROBLEM—holds messages that were not imported correctly
The length of time that messages are kept is determined by each folder’s retention
time. The minimum period is 14 days.
