RE: SMTP Gateway Setup -- MIDRANGE-L

Bill:
Port 25 is the port the SMTP server listens on.  See if you can telnet to
the AS400 on port 25, you should be able to communicate with the SMTP server
using the telnet interface.  You can type SMTP commands and should see the
responses.
Try the following commands in this order.
HELO domainname.com
MAIL FROM:yourfromaddress@yourdomain.com
RCPT TO:toaddress@anotherdomain.com
DATA
then type a bunch of data, to send type a . followed by a carriage return on
a line by itself.
You should see some responses by the SMTP server and perhaps you will get a
clue as to what is going on.
Good luck.
