RE: Back to Reverse DNS

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It knows it is you because you have an entry in the system directory that 
has SMTP info listed. WRKDIRE will get you there, option 5 on you, the F17 
to see the SMTP stuff. If the domain and user you have in your directory 
entry are known to the SMTP server you've listed in the CHGSMTPA (and the 
hosts table), then it should go through - unless you need authentication at 
the SMTP server - not sure what happens then.

So you need to specify a findable name in the MAILROUTER parameter of 
CHGSMTPA - findable means either in your local hosts table on the iSeries, 
or in a DNS server known to the iSeries box.

Then you have to have SMTP info in your system directory entry that the 
server at MAILROUTER will process.

I think - at least that works for me, but there may be complications. The 
intent of this post is only to show where SNDDST looks for sender info.

BTW, the SUBJECT parameter of SNDDST is not the subject of the email - it's 
not used, AFAIK. The email subject is the DSTD parameter.
