And why is that? Is it because if you change an IP address you have to go to every PC and change the host file? And according to IBM http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/SLKBase.nsf/3ff1161e61e6c7468625661300765a3f/34879f5e413aa5cd8625697b0053f36a?OpenDocument some things have to be in the AS/400 host file. "Note: The Mail Router parameter must be an alphanumeric name and not an IP Address. Also, an entry must be made in the host table of the server to associate the name mailrelay to the IP Address 192.168.5.254." Mine is an IP address and works ok (V5R1), I did not see at what release that was at. "Note: If you wanted to receive mail for a second SMTP Domain named mail2.company.com, mail2.company.com would also be associated with the Interface 192.168.1.5." And this show it in the host file. I just mention these because someone said they put the name in the host file on the AS/400 (for an email problem) and it worked after that, and he was told that was a bad idea.
