That's something of a loaded question. My answer is that SNDDST provides a 
command interface that can be used to send SMTP mail and it's provided by IBM. 
I use it regularly. BUT...

IMHO, it is _NOT_ the command that _should_ be used. It is merely cheap and 
easy (once configuration is set).

It is almost certainly better to create an e-mailing application around the 
QtmmSendMail and/or other APIs and build a command to use in place of SNDDST. 
Examples have been published a number of times if needed.

So, it should work fine, but it has limitations and requires specific 
configuration details.
