Abstract

This paper discusses the basic concepts of the X.400 specification for an electronic Message Handling System with respect to the integration of group communication processes. Three group communication scenarios are distinguished: distribution-oriented, collection-oriented and coordination-oriented communication. Possible solutions for the integration of the distribution-oriented features into a X.400 based MHS are described and some light is shead onto the problems involved with the more complex collection-oriented and coordination-oriented communication.
