One way to test SMTP is using telnet over port 25.  Fire up Telnet from
the CL command line to some site that should accept incoming SMTP mail
Ex: TELNET RMTSYS(MAIL.YAHOO.COM)PORT(25) 
See if you can connect to the remote site, then type HELO to start a 
session.  Enter MAIL FROM: <userid@domain.com> and RCPT TO: <userid@yahoo.com>
followed by DATA lines (the message) and a . (period) to end the message.

It's an interactive test of outbound SMTP.  If you can't connect to a site
like yahoo.com (or whatever other server that is running SMTP), then Domino
can't either.  

In general, if the AS/400 can resolve to a site and send SMTP, then Domino on
the AS/400 can also.  The only exceptions I can think of would be if you: 1)
didn't use the CFGDOMSVR MAIL(*SMTPMTA) option, 2) the SMTPMTA task is not 
loaded in Domino, or 3) the "Host name mapping" section of the SMTP part of 
the server document has been changed to "Local mapping only"

Late thought-- can you send SMTP mail within the network, such as to another
Domino user on the same system, just using the SMTP version of their name?

Good luck,
