MHS Routing is the problem of controlling the path of a message as it
traverses one or more MTAs to reach its destination recipients.
Routing starts with a recipient O/R Address, and parameters associated
with the message to be routed.  The key problem in routing is to map
from an O/R Address onto an MTA (next hop).  This shall be an MTA
which in some sense is "nearer" to the destination UA. This is done
repeatedly until the message can be directly delivered to the
recipient UA. There are a number of things which need to be considered
to determine this.  This memo describes MHS Routing using X.500
Directory.
