Re: Sending email via a Domino api

["Walter Scanlan" <wscanlan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,
      I used the sendmemo sample from the C api toolkit (from domino
version 5.07)  I then wrapped a rundomcmd call in an RPG program to call
the C program.

Rob,

If you're at V5R1 or higher, you can use the JavaMail API to send mail
directly from RPG programs.  One added benefit of this is you can use any
SMTP server to send the mail out, and it does not have to be on the same
box that your program is running on.  Ignite400 has an article on it here
(which I haven't read yet):

http://www.ignite400.org/news/news2002070401.htm

based on a HOWTO I wrote here:

http://www.estes-express.com/rpgjavamail/instructions.html

We use Domino's native SMTP to get and send internet e-mail, and this
method works just fine for us.

Currently we have 5 AS/400's or iSeries. All of them have Domino loaded
and running. We know how to use QtmmSendMail and various wrappers for it.
However, we want to send mail directly via Domino from other iSeries
native applications. Apparently on some of our iSeries we do not allow
native SMTP and only allow Domino. We know how to turn that on but the
powers that be won't allow it.

I hear that the HiTest api's are deprecated and will be phased out.
Staying at an older version of Domino and holding my breath until I pass
out or Lotus fixes this is not an option. We like to stay current.

Some people have suggested purchasing some additional software to give you
some nifty call to their software. It's been my experience that all of
these packages use the deprecated API's.

1) At what version of Domino will the api's stop working?

2) If the api's will continue to work indefinitely, how do I find out more
about them?

3) I hear tell about a library called RNHLIB which is supposed to make
this api's a snap. Trying to find this library results in broken links or
pages that don't work.

4) If the api's are truly deprecated, what is the alternative offered by
IBM?
