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.
