    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Describes the abstract service provided by the message transfer system and specifies the procedures to be performed by MTAs to ensure the correct distributed operation of the MTS. ISO/IEC 10021-2 identifies the other International Standards which define other aspects of Message Handling Systems. Includes several Technical appendices.
