RE: Sending e-mail from AS400 to our Exchange server

[Chris Bipes <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Will your exchange server accept incoming mail from the AS400?  Some
exchange administrators do reverse DNS lookups before accepting mail.  Is
every thing set up correctly in SNADS?  Is your AS400 thinking it is local
mail and trying to distribute to a local mail user?   I will try to think of
more if one of these are not the problem.  One thing to try is to telnet
into your exchange server from an AS400 session using port 25.

Telnet rmtsys(exchange server full qualified domain name) port(25)
HELO my.as400.domain.name
mail from: your.email@address
rcpt to: exchange.email@address
data
subject:test from as400
This is a test message
.
quit

The "." on a line by itself is necessary to end the data command.
You will not be able to back space so type slowly and carefully or script
it.  You will get various messages back from the exchange server that might
give you insight into what is going on.

Also check to see if the SMTP server is running on your AS400.

Hi,

We are having problem sending e-mail from AS400 to our exchange server. We
we send mail using the snddst command we receive the message send
distribution completed successfully but we don't receive it from our inbox.
We ping the smtp ip address and the DNS name from the as400, all connection
were ok.
