Re: Native e-400 mail

You might look at the article at
http://www.as400network.com/resources/artarchive/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewar
ticle&CO_ContentID=2672 for the SndMail utility, complete with source.
Also,
http://www.as400network.com/resources/artarchive/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewar
ticle&CO_ContentID=2805 is about using the API that SndMail implements.

I remember reading an article about building an SMTP bridge that detailed
the setup and config.  I believe it was in one of the MC "Expert" journals a
few years back.  Either Client Access Expert or Network Expert.  Perhaps
someone archived this stuff before they took the website down?
