Re: Intermitant SMTP

[Patrick Townsend <townsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Carl,

Here are lots of PTFs for SMTP. You will want to be sure to put on the
latest cum tape and the latest database group PTF if one is available
for V3R7. 

I assume that when you mention the SMTP client that you are talking
about the QtmmSendMail API? This has to be one of the worst APIs IBM has
ever released. If you pass it a bad address it will fall over dead. If
there are delivery errors you may not get a response. I've had a long
conversation with IBM about the API. They have promised that it is
better in V4R4, but it still is a bad design. You need to be extra
careful to pass it email addresses that you have verified are valid.

hth,
Patrick
