There'd certainly be less spam. I came from Zoomit where we built our own X.400 stack for Banyan VINES so I am a big believer but just because they were a standard didn't mean that they were embraced.<br /><br />LDAP pretty much killed the X.500/DAP wave in 1996. The rise of SMTP killed off X.400. Sure, they're still used in certain scenarios as you point out but commonly used? Nope.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00014140177974348471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11222552.post-71228808845181127232007-01-03T03:02:00.000-08:002007-01-03T03:02:00.000-08:00"Anybody out there using DAP to communicate with a..."Anybody out there using DAP to communicate with and between their directories or still using X.400 for e-mail?"<br /><br />Yup. Don't make the mistake of thinking that because a standard is unfashionable it's not still being adopted. At Isode we're still selling X.500 directories (to governments and militaries) and X.400 based messaging systems (to militaries and the aviation industry). And these are new, not replacement, sales. There's still plenty of life in these old dogs!Will Shewardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00616714408418025012noreply@blogger.com
