Re: [ebxmlms-general] SMTP messaging (newbie comprehension problem?)

[Patrick Y. <kc...@ce...>]

Hello Bernd,
You are right. From the specification point of view, it's perfectly 
legal to have from party ID as a URI of a HTTP endpoint, and to party ID 
as a URI of an email address. However, this is the current limitation of 
Hermes. In the handling of AckReq of Hermes, it will swap the from/to 
party ID to send out the acknowledgment. Hermes assumes the schemes for 
both IDs are the same..
It seems that there is no obvious way to do that in Hermes right now...
Regards, -Patrick
