DIGITAL Software Product Description ___________________________________________________________________ Product Name: MAILbus 400 Application Program Interface SPD 46.90.06 for DIGITAL UNIX, Version 2.0B PRODUCT DESCRIPTION MAILbus[TM] 400 Application Program Interface (API) for DIGITAL[TM] UNIX[R] is a layered software product that resides on a DIGITAL UNIX system. It provides a programming interface that gives application de- velopment programmers access to the messaging services provided by the MAILbus 400 Message Transfer Agent. MAILbus 400 API provides a C language interface to the MAILbus 400 MTA's messaging services. An ANSI C conformant compiler is required to use the MAILbus 400 API. A MAILbus 400 Application Program Interface license is required for application development only. An application built using MAILbus 400 Application Program Interface can be operated without the need for a MAILbus 400 Application Program Interface license. MAILbus 400 API can operate either colocated with MAILbus 400 MTA or on a remote DIGITAL UNIX machine. CONFORMANCE TO STANDARDS MAILbus 400 API is an implementation of the X/Open[TM] CAE Specifi- cation - OSI[R]-Abstract-Data-Manipulation (November 1991 edition), and the X/Open CAE Specification - API to Electronic Mail (November 1991 edition). These specifications define a vendor-independent pro- gramming interface to X.400 messaging services; however, applications linked with the MAILbus 400 API can only communicate directly with the January 1998 AE-Q2MZG-TE MAILbus 400 MTA. MAILbus 400 API provides both the Application and Gate- way interfaces defined by the X/Open CAE Specifications. MAILbus 400 API does not support the Retrieval Functional Unit of the X/Open CAE Specification - API to Electronic Mail. YEAR 2000 READY (Y2K) MAILbus 400 API V2.0B is specified as Year 2000 Ready and will cor- rectly process, calculate, compare and sequence date data from, into and between the twentieth and the twenty-first centuries, and the years 1999 and 2000, including leap year calculations, when used in accor- dance with the associated DIGITAL Product documentation and provided that all hardware, firmware and software used in combination with such DIGITAL Products properly exchange date data with the DIGITAL Prod- ucts.
