Re: Spool Files from AS/400 to email

[Patrick Townsend <townsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Angela,

There are a number of vendors of email and I'm sure some will jump in
here. Our partner company, Net400, has an inexpensive mailer called
NetSend. It can send spool files via email. It uses its own SMTP client
software so you don't have to fool around with AS/400 SMTP and SNADS
configurations. More here: http://www.net400.com
