I've been playing around with activating POP on our AS/400.  I finally got
it working tonight, after I re-read IBM's documentation.   (:

Unfortunately, I came across a little glitch.  IBM 'recommends' that the
SMTP Name for a POP client match the User Profile and the User ID of the
corresponding directory entry.

Yuck.

The 'recommendation' turns out to be mandatory (AFAIK).  That's how I got
it working.

But making the name take 8.8 form seems a bit backwards.

Any suggestions how I can pick 'real' SMTP names and keep the system happy?
