The SNDEMAIL source can be downloaded from AS400network.com.
The problem it solves is reaching into IBM's API to send a message. it is "a
command" to send MIME compatible mail. sounds ridiculous to send mail,
considering how easy it is to do it on a PC. Your native choice in commands
is SNDDST. figure out all the options on that first and you will be primed
to make a good decision on products/ in house work. I looked at SNDEMAIL
just last week. The Redbooks clear up a lot on why things are the way they
are.

I am doing the "in house" version of a solution. I have checked out net/400
and some others for shrink wrapped solutions. I don't have a clue how good
any of the packages are. If you have volume....I would not do the in-house
version... just an opinion. The good ones use their own SMTP server, and
avoid the OS/400 version.

Our messages are larger than the 1024 limit in sndemail, and I am sending
real HTML messages as well as text (not attachments) and this is quite a
trick to do using OS/400 out of the box. It took me a little research to get
it going.
