RE: Sending E-mail

["BORING, David" <dboring@xxxxxxx>]

Is there any way that you could FTP a text file over to the Linux box?
Maybe you could create a Perl script on the Linux box that would use
sendmail to send it out. For example, you could put the "To:", "From:",
and "Subject:" lines at the top of the text file and the Perl script
would parse those out and use them.

Of course, this requires that you know how to write a Perl script and
use sendmail, or have someone that can do this for you. ;)

Good luck!

Subject: Sending E-mail

I would like to send e-mail from an AS400 Application to a certain
internet e-mail account.


For example a nightly batch job would create a one page report and then
e-mail to various accounts.

What do I need to accomplish this.  It is a small project so there isn't
a budget to go out and spend $2000 just to provide these reports.

We have an inhouse mail server (linux) and an internet connection.

Do we need to run SMTP on our 400 or is there a POP client we can use.
