Subject: RE: [ebxml-cppa] SMTP Needs "to" and "from" e-mail addresses
Dale, It seems to me that the SMTP "from" address is local deployment information that is of no use to the other party, so there is no need to put it in the CPP or CPA. In other words, your alternative "from an installation value" is the right answer. I might also note that the SMTP "from" address is not necessarily the same email address that the party uses for receiving messages (the one that is in its delivery channel), so the original question is equally valid for SMTP in both directions.

If there is a missing "from" address in the CPA (such as in your case of SMTP one way, and HTTP back), then the CPA could not be used to populate that required informational item. The "from" element is, of course, a 'sending' feature rather than a 'receiving' feature in a delivery channel, and the original goal had been to focus on defining channels by receiving characteristics only. This has not worked out too well, and this could be another gap. Currently, the sending software would have to figure out a way to get this value (from a user wizard, from an installation value, from a certificate's field, from an alternative PartyId that happened to have rfc821 addresses, and so on. Do you think we should fix this? Where would be a good place to stick the info? Under the SendingProtocol element? Someplace better occur to you?

According to the Messaging Specifications, any bXML over SMTP requires both "to" and "from" lines in the SMTP header. It is not clear from the description that if the sending protocol is SMTP, that there has to be a "from" e-mail address somewhere in the CPA. In fact, if one direction is SMTP and the other is HTTP, I don't see that there is a place for two e-mail addresses. Can someone clarify what happens in this case?
