Specifying the Remote MTA Transport Stack

The MTA transport stack is used to provide a network connection between two sites or between a site and a foreign X.400 system. You can use an MTA transport stack installed on any computer in your site running the Microsoft Exchange Server. Messages are automatically routed through the server where the MTA transport stack is installed.

Note If the MTA transport stack you want to use does not appear in this list, you must install it or verify that information about an installed stack has been replicated to this server before attempting this procedure.

Enabling Rich Text for MAPI Client Recipients

You can configure the X.400 Connector to send outbound messages with rich text characters such as bold, color, and italic. Rich text also provides the ability to position attachments. Rich text is a feature that should be used only when the recipient client software is Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) compliant.

Note If you do not select the Remote clients support MAPI check box, attachments will be sent to the foreign system with the message. Rich text, icons, and attachment location within the text are discarded before message transfer. If you select this option and the foreign system does not support MAPI, the foreign system displays an extra attachment called Winmail.dat.
