Re: Email Setup

The ISP will have an address to send to:
example : mail.bellsouth.net (btw-if your ISP is hosting your mail
as something like mikew@xxxxxxxxxxx then you may be forwarding
to something like mail.xyzcorp.com
Are your pc desktops already using the isp email? Their account
setup will have the smtp server name.
Put that in place of your Exchange Server in the smtp settings.

Depending upon how dns works in your network, you may need a
host table entry for mail.xyzcorp.com and it's ip.
Best test is to telnet on port 25 to the isp's email server to prove connectivity. This post has a good test to run:

If your ISP requires authentication (user & pwd) as far as I have seen
the IBM SMTP server does not support this.
I just had to set one up and used Brad Stone's smtp product (advanced version supports authentication, plus has a decent debug to find problems).
In my case, the ISP (AT&T) also managed the firewall and they had to
add stuff to allow this traffic.

Subject: Email Setup

I know this is a frequent topic, but I can't see a reference to this. For
this small company I am working with, they don't have an internal email
server. In fact they use the local ISP for email. The problem is now how do
I setup the iSeries to send out email out to the tubes? I have only set it
up to use the exchange server to send out out into the world.
