‘1.1.4.

OPERATIONAL MAILBOX CONFIGURATION REQUIREMENTS

Each Schengen State must configure its VISION OPERATIONAL MAIL SYSTEM according to:

  • NETWORK ENVIRONMENT

    • DNS/HOST FILE: Since there is no common Domain Name Service, it is necessary to add records concerning every remote SMTP server

    • Firewall: Open incoming and outgoing packets on port 25.

  • MIME CONTENT

    The mail server encoding for messages will be configured to these values:

    • Content-Type: text/plain RFC 2046

    • Charset: iso-8859-15 (Western Europe)

    • Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable.

  • The SMTP domain used is visionmail.eu, where every Schengen State has its own third-level domain “xx”. This means that each Schengen State must configure its own mail server in order to manage the xx.visionmail.eu SMTP subdomain name (xx is the two-character Schengen State code).

  • The recipient mailbox address will be in the format: [email protected]

    For Schengen States with a second mailbox (for sending), the sending mailbox address will be in the format:

    [email protected] (Note: this is an optional address).’
