RE: SMTP config (cont.)

["Carl Galgano" <cgalgano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve:
On the CHGSMTPA command specify the mail router as the IP (or name) or your
exchange server and change the FIREWALL parm to yes.  This will force the
AS400 to send all mail to your exchange server for distribution to the
internet.  I have had some problems though using this with clients.  The
problem usually occurs when the AS400 user name or SMTP name is not a valid
register user in exchange.  Exchange will reject the message.
Good luck.

<snip>One way to set the 400 up to send is detailed on my web-site,
http://www.ways.demon.co.uk </snip>

My SMTP configuration is just short of being complete. I have a couple of
concerns that might be easily answered here...

1> When I "CHGDSTA SMTPRTE(INTERNET GATEWAY)", will I be opening any
security holes? Can I undo the change by simply clearing those entries?

2> I don't have a direct connection to the Internet, I go through Exchange
Server (which checks email every 15 minutes). Is there a value I need to
specify somewhere that tells the 400 how to "route" through my Exchange
Server? Note: On the CHGTCPDMN (Change TCP/IP Domain) screen, I specified
HOSTNAME('S1039433') DMNNAME('carefreeofcolorado.com') and
INETADR(199.157.46.1) (which is my ISP's DNS). Will this work without being
directly connected? Should I (how do I) set my 400 as the DNS?

TIA! - Steve
