Re: Homegrown v3r2 send internet email - POSSIBLE?

["David Morris" <David.Morris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dan,

The October 1998 issue of News/400 has an article that I wrote that
describes using the MSF apis to send email.  I wrote the utility in 1997
on a V3R6 or V3R7 system.  I know that anymail was available as of
V3R1 and some people got this to work on V3R2.  The actual code
published was updated to take advantage of some of the V4R2
enhancements. I am not sure if they still have it on their web site, but
it used to be there. If not, I could forward the code and a Faq that I
wrote to support the article to you.

I have spent way too much time on this.  I have searched for threads in
the archives, I have looked at the redbook for AS/400 email
capabilities, I have reviewed several web sites that have info specific
to setting up SMTP, and I have been, so far, unsuccessful.  (Maybe too
much information???)  Nothing I have seen describes how to set up
outgoing email from a V3R2 system that does not have OfficeVision
installed.

Simple question:  Is it possible, from a V3R2 AS/400, to send internet
email without third-party software?  And without OfficeVision installed?

A little more background.  I limited myself to reading only appendices B
& C in the redbook I referred to.
 * Appendix B. Sending Mail to the Internet from an AS/400 System
 * Appendix C. Sending Internet Mail from OfficeVision/400

Despite the title, appendix C was mentioned in appendix B as required
reading to implement "internet addressing" on V3R2 systems.

Note: I have been able to send internet email from a V4R4 system.  But
some of the setup steps are different than those on V3R2.
