RE: SMTP Gateway Setup

[Glenn Birnbaum <gbirnba@xxxxxxx>]

Bill,
- Have you already used the CHGSMTPA command to configure the Mail Router name? 
 
- Have you done the command CHGDSTA SMTPRTE(INTERNET GATEWAY)?  
- Have you done the directory entry for  ADDDIRE USRID(INTERNET GATEWAY) 
USRD('Internet SMTP gateway') SYSNAME(INTERNET) PREFADR(NETUSRID *IBM 
ATCONTXT)?  
- I assume you already have TCP/IP configured and working for other app's (like 
TELNET), if not, you may need to review the basic IP config.  

Good luck,
Glenn

Subject: SMTP Gateway Setup


I am trying to setup an SMTP Gateway from one of my AS/400's to the
Internet, so I can use the SNDDST command to send messages via email, and
ultimately to send spool files via email.  I think I have everything
configured properly, via CFGTCP options 10 and 12, and also the WRKDIRE to
set up an appropriate SMTP name.

However, when I start the SMTP server (STRTCPSVR *SMTP), the server job
QTSMTPSRVR is ending itself because of a TCP2064 message in the joblog:

Message . . . . :   SMTP not able to send or receive mail due to TCPIP
protocol problem.                                                           
Cause . . . . . :   The SMTP function cannot communicate with TCPIP to send
and receive mail. This protocol layer is not communicating properly.        
  Recovery  . . . :   Check the job log associated with subsystem TCPIP to
determine if the subsystem is having a problem. Follow the recovery action
recommended on the messages found in the job log. If no messages exist, you 
  may have to start the subsystem again to resynchronize the protocols. To
start SNADS, use command (STRSBS QSNADS). To start TCP/IP, use command
(STRTCP).

I have stopped and restarted QSNADS, MSF, and the TCP servers, but so far no
cigar.  Can anyone give me any clues as to where to look next?

Thanks,  Bill
