I presume the system directory entry for INTERNET GATEWAY also has Mail Service Level set to 1=User index  ?
MSF (Mail Server Framework) jobs active ?

Under CFGDSTSRV, Distribution Queues, is your QSMTP queue there ?

        Subject:        AS400 V4R3 Outbound SMTP Mail Delivery Problem



We are running V4R3 and are only using our AS400 Mail only to send reports
in *pdf format and small outfiles of  report data in *xls, *dbase or *txt
format to users and a few outside vendors.   We are doing this through
either SNDDST, ASC Sequel or SPLTOOL.

Our company's internal regular user desktop mail is handled by a MS Exchange
Server and the Lan group routes their outbound internet email through our
out of state corporate mail gateway.  We are not involving our local MS
Exchange Server in our outbound AS400 mail.

Our SMTP attribs are set to use our corporate mail router gateway in another
state at mail.ourcompany.com, which is the same outbound mail gateway our MS
Exchange Server uses for regular desktop mail.

We have an Directory Entry (wrkdire) set up for:

1. Each user that uses these functions
Mail Service Level: 1=User Index
Preferred Address=1 User ID/Address
SMTP User ID at firstname.lastname
SMTP Domain: company domain

2. An entry for INTERNET GATEWEAY

Our problem is that outbound mail is only sent from the AS400 if it is
addressed to a user at user@ourcompany.com. (they may or may not be users
set up in Directory Entries)   Per a Com Trace on our Ethernet Line Ports,
and a Com Trace on inbound gateway mail at our out of state Corporate Mail
Gateway, only mail that is sent to user@ourcompany.com is leaving the AS400.
Mail sent to users at other domains do not generate error message on the
AS400, yet per the com traces, they are never leaving the AS400.

Does anyone have experience in what we may have set up incorrectly ?

Thanks.
