RE: Sending e-mails from AS/400

["Mark A. Manske" <mmanske@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Has it really been five years already (ouch)

Point well taken - one to keep in mind - cheap (thrifty) management,
the old way "works" and some people cannot afford nor need Domino.

As for JAVA based mail, if you can find it free or cheap,
and don't have to know java to use it, could be a very good thing.

I have not researched that avenue, but I just might have to.

Thanks for the info.

Mark,

Most of the email support on the AS/400 is "old" and retains
too much office baggage. The SNDDST command along
with the QTMM APIs, all use the AnyMail Mail Server Framework
APIs under the covers. That support was OK five years ago, but
it has not been enhanced in a long time and overly complicates
the process.

More modern alternatives include Java based mail support or
Domino.  At this point, I would steer way from the APIs if my
intent is to find something more flexible.

Depends on the rest of your set-up;
to start with, this is an "old" way, API's are better and more
flexible...
