RE: SNDDST problem emailing internally

First of all is your AS400 your mail server for your domain?  Meaning if
your company domain is xyz.com and your e-mail address are user@xxxxxxx does
your AS400 take the incoming e-mail or do you have some other server on your
network.  If you have a different mail sever that all the clients attach to
and receives internet mail other than your AS400, your as400 cannot have the
same domain name.  If your CHGTCPDMN DMNNAME() on your as400 is also
xyz.com, it will try to send any distributions to itself and not to your
other mail server.  This is the biggest problem with SNDDST and IBM free
SMTP server.
