IBM Redbooks: AS/400 Electronic-Mail Capabilities, SG24-4703-00 
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com

This redbook describes the Electronic Mail (E-Mail) capabilities of the AS/400 
system having OS/400 Version 3 Release 2, OS/400
Version 3 Release 7, or OS/400 Version 4 Release 1 installed. Although it is 
not possible to describe every mail client or every
connectivity environment, the intent of this manual is to provide information 
on the most common mail clients that can connect to
the AS/400 system. In addition, this manual provides an overview of the 
electronic mail environment, an introduction to TCP/IP and
the SMTP protocol, considerations when connecting to the Internet, e-mail tips, 
and general problem solving considerations.
This redbook was written for AS/400 administrators, OfficeVision/400 
administrators, or anyone responsible for exchanging e-mail
between any of the POP3 clients or Client Access/400 based MAPI clients 
connected to an AS/400 system. Several practical examples
are presented to demonstrate the necessary configuration tasks.
Some knowledge of OS/400, Internet Mail (SMTP), and OfficeVision/400 as well as 
TCP/IP communication is assumed. The manual is
designed to discuss many of the concepts necessary to understand how the AS/400 
system inter-operates with e-mail clients. It is
not intended to provide detailed information on specific tasks associated with 
installing, configuring, and managing specific
e-mail clients. It does, however, reference other publications that contain 
detailed information on how to install, configure, and
manage specific e-mail clients in an AS/400 environment.

IBM Redbooks: AS/400 Mail: Multiple SMTP Domains Behind a Firewall, 
SG24-5643-00 http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/
Learn how to plan, install, tailor, configure, and troubleshoot a firewall 
installation that supports e-mail. This redbook
provides sample scenarios that demonstrate several ways to handle multiple SMTP 
mail domains behind a firewall. We use two
firewall products in these samples: IBM Firewall for AS/400 and IBM eNetwork 
Firewall for Windows NT V3. This redbook targets the
needs of analysts, consultants, and support people that will design, install, 
and configure the e-mail environment. For the e-mail
functions, this redbook shows both base AS/400 Mail Server Framework (MSF) SMTP 
and POP server support, as well as using Lotus
Domino R4.66 and Lotus Domino R5.03. The samples do not specifically include 
IBM SecureWay Firewall V4.1 for Windows NT announced
September 28, 1999.
However, the demonstrated techniques can be applied using the new product as 
well as firewalls from other vendors. The
configuration of other firewall functions are not specifically covered in this 
book. You may need to refer to other firewall
documentation for additional configuration information. This redbook also 
covers basic Domino setup to support mail environments.
Some knowledge of the AS/400 platform and TCP/IP is assumed.
