A POP client is no good to you since POP clients only retrieve mail. What
you need is an SMTP client. AS/400 SNADS can act as a pseudo SMTP client
(take that loosely please!) and interface with the AS/400 SMTP server. The
AS/400 SMTP server can either connect directly to your ISP's SMTP server or
to your "main" mail server that you run (say) on a LAN. You can use
commands such as SNDDST to send files/messages etc through the SNADS/SMTP
gateway to the Internet. You set up SMTP addresses through directory
services - like SNADS addresses with some extra parms. This method works
though I think it's a bit klugy and far more complicated than it needs to be.

The company I work for markets full function SMTP/POP clients for more
sophisticated uses (Internet EDI) but my guess is we'd blow your budget. If
you need more detailed info or help on setting this up let me know.
