1. Introduction
This document lists the various VPIM email address formats that are
currently in common use and defines several new address formats for
special case usage. Requirements are imposed on the formats of
addresses used in VPIM submission mode
[VPIM2] does not place any restrictions on the email address format.
However, it does recommend the use of a numeric LHS since many legacy
voice mail systems only use digits to identify mailboxes. Further,
it recommends a structure to handle private, international and
extensions. The private format has become deployed in most existing
VPIM v2 systems, further some systems will only accept messages from
addresses with a numeric LHS.
[IVM] does not describe addressing at all. The LHS format is left to
the discretion of the mailbox owner. However, it is useful in some
cases (like submission or tunneling) to specify a LHS format. A
format based on GSTN addressing [GSTN] is presented.
This document defines the various recipient (i.e., TO) addresses for
VPIM and IVM messages.
2. Conventions used in this Document
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
"LHS" as used in this document is to be interpreted as the left side
of the "@" in an email address. It is defined as "local-part" in
RFC-2822.
"RHS" as used in this document is to be interpreted as the right side
of the "@" in an email address. It is defined as "domain" in RFC-
2822.

3. VPIM v2 Addressing
This is defined in section 4.1.1 of [VPIM2] and [VPIMV2R2]. Of the
four groups of addresses defined, the mailbox number format is the
