Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the
International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system
for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO
or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through
technical committees established by the respective organization to deal
with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical
committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO
and IEC, also take part in the work.
In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a
joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. In addition to developing
International Standards, ISO/IEC JTC 1 has created a Special Group on
Functional Standardization for the elaboration of International
Standardized Profiles.
An International Standardized Profile is an internationally agreed,
harmonized document which identifies a standard or group of standards,
together with options and parameters, necessary to accomplish a function
or a set of functions.
Draft International Standardized Profiles are circulated to national bodies
for voting. Publication as an International Standardized Profile requires
approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
International Standardized Profile ISO/IEC ISP 12062-3 was prepared
with the collaboration of
— OSI Asia-Oceania Workshop (AOW);
— European Workshop for Open Systems (EWOS);
— Open Systems Environment Implementors’ Workshop (OIW).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/IEC ISP
12062-3:1995), which has been technically revised. It also incorporates
Technical Corrigendum 1:1996.
ISO/IEC ISP 12062 consists of the following parts, under the general title
Information technology - International Standardized Profiles AMH2n -
Message Handling Systems - Interpersonal Messaging:
— Part 1: IPM MHS Service Support
— Part 2: AMH21 - IPM Content
— Part 3: AMH22 - IPM Requirements for Message Transfer (P1)
— Part 4: AMH23 and AMH25 - IPM Requirements for MTS Access (P3)

Introduction
This part of ISO/IEC ISP 12062 is defined within the context of Functional
Standardization, in accordance with the principles specified by ISO/IEC
TR 10000, “Framework and Taxonomy of International Standardized
Profiles”. The context of Functional Standardization is one part of the
overall field of Information Technology (IT) standardization activities,
covering base standards, profiles, and registration mechanisms. A profile
defines a combination of base standards that collectively perform a
specific well-defined IT function. Profiles standardize the use of options
and other variations in the base standards, and provide a basis for the
development of uniform, internationally recognized system tests.
One of the most important rôles for an ISP is to serve as the basis for the
development (by organizations other than ISO and IEC) of internationally
recognized tests. ISPs are produced not simply to ‘legitimize’ a particular
choice of base standards and options, but to promote real system
interoperability. The development and widespread acceptance of tests
based on this and other ISPs is crucial to the successful realization of this
goal.
The text for this part of ISO/IEC ISP 12062 was developed in close
cooperation between the MHS Expert Groups of the three Regional
Workshops: the North American OSE Implementors’ Workshop (OIW),
the European Workshop for Open Systems (EWOS) (jointly with the
corresponding expert group of the European Telecommunications
Standards Institute - ETSI) and the OSI Asia-Oceania Workshop (AOW).
This part of ISO/IEC ISP 12062 is harmonized between these three
Workshops and it has been ratified by the plenary assemblies of all three
Workshops.

Information technology – International Standardized

Interpersonal Messaging –
Part 3:
AMH22 - IPM Requirements for Message Transfer (P1)
1 Scope
1.1 General
This part of ISO/IEC ISP 12062 covers message transfer between Message Transfer Agents (MTAs) in an
Interpersonal Messaging (IPM) environment using the P1 Message Transfer Protocol (see also figure 1). These
specifications form part of the Interpersonal Messaging application functions, as defined in the parts of ISO/IEC
ISP 12062, and are based on the Common Messaging content type-independent specifications in ISO/IEC ISP
10611.
1.2 Position within the taxonomy
This part of ISO/IEC ISP 12062 is the third part of a multipart ISP identified in ISO/IEC TR 10000-2 as “AMH2,
Message Handling Systems - Interpersonal Messaging”.
This part of ISO/IEC ISP 12062 specifies the following profile:
AMH22 - IPM Requirements for Message Transfer (P1)
The AMH22 profile may be combined with any T-Profiles (see ISO/IEC TR 10000) specifying the OSI
connection-mode Transport service.
1.3 Scenario
The model used is one of two or more MTAs intercommunicating within a Message Transfer System (MTS)
using the P1 protocol, as shown in figure 1.
P1
P1
MTA MTA MTA
Figure 1 - AMH22 scenario
NOTE - In an ITU-T context, a domain may be treated as an MTA for the purposes of conformance to the AMH22 profile.
The AMH22 profile covers all aspects of the MTA Abstract Service, as defined in clause 12 of ISO/IEC 10021-4,
when realized using the P1 protocol in an IPM environment.
The OSI upper layer services and protocols to support the Message Handling Systems functions covered by the
AMH22 profile are specified in subclause 1.3 of ISO/IEC ISP 10611-3.

3.1 General
3.1.1 Basic requirement: an Element of Service, protocol element, procedural element or other identifiable
feature specified in the base standards which is required to be supported by all MHS implementations.
3.1.2 Functional group: a specification of one or more related Elements of Service, protocol elements,
procedural elements or other identifiable features specified in the base standards which together support a
significant optional area of MHS functionality.
NOTE - A functional group can cover any combination of MHS features specified in the base standards for which the effect
of implementation can be determined at a standardized external interface - i.e. via a standard OSI communications protocol
(other forms of exposed interface, such as a standardized programmatic interface, are outside the scope of this version of
ISO/IEC ISP 12062).
3.2 Support classification
To specify the support level of arguments, results and other protocol features for this part of ISO/IEC ISP 12062,
the following terminology is defined.
NOTE - No classifications are used in this part of ISO/IEC ISP 12062, as the requirements for support of arguments, results
and other protocol features by an MTA are as specified in ISO/IEC ISP 10611-3.
