This part of ISO/IEC ISP 10611 contains the overall specifications of the support of MHS Elements of Service
and associated MHS functionality which are generally not appropriate for consideration only from the perspective
of a single MHS protocol. These specifications form part of the Common Messaging application functions, as
defined in the parts of ISO/IEC ISP 10611, which form a common basis for content type-dependent International
Standardized Profiles for MHS that will be developed. Such specifications are in many cases applicable to more
than one MHS protocol or are otherwise concerned with component functionality which, although it can be
verified via protocol, is not just related to protocol support. They are therefore designed to be referenced in the
MHS Common Messaging application profiles ISO/IEC ISP 10611-3 (AMH11), ISO/IEC ISP 10611-4 (AMH12)
and ISO/IEC ISP 10611-5 (AMH13), which specify the support of specific MHS protocols and associated
functionality.
The specifications in this part of ISO/IEC ISP 10611 cover the provision and use of features associated with the
Message Transfer (MT) Service (MTS) (as defined in clause 8 of ISO/IEC 10021-1), together with those features
associated with intercommunication with Physical Delivery (PD) Services (as defined in clause 10 of ISO/IEC
10021-1). Features which are associated with the Message Store (MS) and User Agent (UA) which are content
type-independent are also covered. Features which are specific to a particular content type (including the
provision of services by a UA to an MHS user) are covered in separate content type-dependent ISPs.
The specifications in this part of ISO/IEC ISP 10611 are divided into basic requirements, which are required to
be supported by all MHS implementations, and a number of optional functional groups, which cover significant
discrete areas of related functionality which are not required to be supported by all implementations.
An overview of the scope and applicability of the AMH1n set of profiles and of the structure of this multipart ISF
is provided in annex E.
