Ira,
I would like further clarification what EmailIn and EmailOut. You indicate
that they are used "in the composed services ScanToEmail and
TransformToEmail", which appear to be compound services composed of the MFD
Scan and MFD Transform Services concatenated with one of the Email Services.
I don't mean to discourage inclusion of something that exists, but it would
seem that the Email "services" used in this way are just transports rather
than full services, in much the same way as the various types of fax
services can use phone lines, SMTP, or other protocols as transports.
Similarly, printers often have the ability to pull messages from a email
server using POP3 or IMAP4, which are regarded as transport protocols in
this context, although I guess in your view they would be (part of) EmailIn
services.
Unless you are thinking of a full email service whereby users can actually
compose and receive emails on their MFP (which I don't think is a common MFD
capability), I am having trouble viewing what I think in practice is an
EMail server supporting SMTP and POP3 and/or IMAP4 as an MFD service.
Perhaps it would help me understand how to deal with EmailIn and EmailOut if
you could show how these services should be represented in the Service
Interfaces document (Figure 1 in the current MFP Overall document).
Thanks,
Bill Wagner
