Subject: X.400 Experimental Environment HELP!!

Hello!

I am a graduate student at Cal Poly University in San Luis Obispo, CA.
We are working on a project using the X.400 Experimental Environment 
(specifically the Message Transfer Agent called PP).  We have compiled 
PP on an HP running HPUX Version 6.5B.  We are in the process of 
configuring PP to test delivery of SMTP mail (using the SMTP channel) but 
are having problems defining the configuration due to limited access to 
the PP documentation.

The bottom of this message defines how we have our configuration presently.
I would greatly appreciate answers to the concerns/open issues
listed below and corrections that may be needed to our configuration.

Concerns/Open Issues:
1) Is the qmgr case sensitive?  (edu and EDU)
2) Should the TCP port shown by ckconfig and in the isoentities be equal?
3) How do we know what TCP port to use?
   Please elaborate on the qmgr and pptsapd daemons and their relationships.
   Is the pptsapd daeomon used only on incoming connections and how?
4) What is the 1.17.6.2.1 in the isoentities file.
   These numbers seem to be in sequence in the file.  Do we have to
   put our entry in sequence.  Also, the entries in this file are
   all related to Europe addresses!
5) Should (or can) we use MH to generate SMTP messages
   and what's the difference (ie. additional tables used, etc).
6) Are there any other configuration files that are affected by PP.

A test was ran using the mail command in /usr/lib/pp/cmds.  The messages
were placed in the appropriate /usr/spool/pp/queues subdirectories.  When
qmgr processed and delivered the mail, and then ran msg-clean, it crashed
(leaving the pptsapd children processes as zombies).  Logging information
of qmgr indicated problems with the free() system call (we think!).
The mail messages were placed in our home directory in a file called
ppmailbox.  The Received By: line did not contain the value of the
show variable "with SMTP(PP)" as we specified on our smtp channel line.

If you need additional information concerning our current configuration,
please contact me ASAP!! We are on the quarter system and have approximately 
one month to meet our project objectives.
*** Home phone (805) 925-5443 or work (805) 349-8649. ***

We are also hoping to configure PP so that it supports 
X.400 mail via SMTP and SMTP mail via X.400.  We are in the
process of building a User Agent and getting the ISO lower
layer protocols functional.  Any additional information would
be helpful!!

Thanks for all of your help!!!!!!

Romy
