If you can't ping yahoo or anything from your AS/400, and you're not using a mail router, that could be the issue. You need to use CFGTCP option 12 to enter DNS servers so you can resolve domain names (and thus find MX records for recipients for your email).
I've entered the DNS addresses used by PCs that have no trouble pinging both GOOGLE and my ISP by name, on both our main 400s, and did a full IPL of one of them. And I still can't ping them by name from the 400 I just Re-IPLed, although I can ping GOOGLE by the IP address that a ping from this PC just returned.
Given known-good DNS addresses, why would I fail to get a DNS resolution?
