RE: Anybody know what to look for in a Trace Route for SMTP?

Jim,

If you go to the IBM web site (www.as400service.ibm.com), the Doc number you
want is 11071558.  It lists step-by-step how to do a comm trace via TCP/IP
from SST though?

I'm not too familiar with AS/400 Traceroutes, but I think I need a
little more information.  Would it be possible for you to post a bit
more of the traceroute info?  Like the DNS resolution.
