If you used our MAILTOOL Plus software instead of IBMs you could choose any
port, use SSL/TLS, authentication and get some great debugging and logging
(and support). :)

IBM does some good stuff but their SMTP is really a hodgepodge of bandaids
trying to keep up with the rest of the world. It's only getting uglier.
:)

We actually created our MAILTOOL Plus software a few years ago to bypass
the IBM SMTP server simply because we needed functionality to work with the
cloud services such as Google, and debug easily.

Worth a look. And I'll always be willing to help with any issues.

Ooh, that looks promising. There's no "2=Change" option so I assume it's
delete the current entries for SMTP and add new ones. Followed by
ENDTCPSVR/STRTCPSVR for SMTP.

Sounds like a good test for Monday morning.

Jeff,

I think you can change it using the WRKSRVTBLE command.

HTH,

All,

We send a ton of emails from the IBM i in various apps. Some are
simply
spool files attached as PDFs and others are text or whatever.

Since we use Google Apps, which requires authentication, we set up an
internal relay on a Windows server that authenticates to Google with a
userid/password set up just for that purpose.

This has worked well for years with one exception. Even though these
emails say loudly SENT FROM A MAILBOX THAT IS NOT MONITORED DO NOT
REPLY
some people still reply. Those get forwarded to me and I send them
where
they belong. We have a couple of Windows apps with the same issue.

Yesterday I stumbled across this
https://support.google.com/a/answer/176600?hl=en which looked like it
would
solve the issue. After changing the firewall, we tested by changing
one
of
the Windows apps and it worked! The email was delivered and had the
proper
reply-to address.

We had to use port 587 as our ISP (Comcast) blocks port 25 outbound.
So
to
use this solution for the IBM i, it has to send outbound mail on port
587.
Don't see that on CHGSMTPA.

Can the outbound port be changed?

Thanks.
