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

We e-mail from our AS/400 to our exchange server all the time.

This is how you can test to see what the problem is, although I'm 75% sure it's 
probably a forwarding problem.

This is all on the AS/400, when in the TELNET make sure you type the commands 
in capitals:
==========================================================
<blank line, just press enter>
TELNET <your exchange server IP> PORT(25)
HELO <your domain>
MAIL FROM:<your e-mail>
RCPT TO:<your e-mail>
DATA
TESTING
.
QUIT
==========================================================

Here is what I get when I do this to my server:
==========================================================
220 MAIL2.celsinc.com ESMTP Server (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service 5.y

500 Command not recognized.
HELO CELSINC.COM
250 OK
MAIL FROM:JLANGSTON@CELSINC.COM
250 OK - mail from <JLANGSTON@CELSINC.COM>
RCPT TO:JLANGSTON@CELSINC.COM
250 OK - Recipient <JLANGSTON@CELSINC.COM>
DATA
354 Send data.  End with CRLF.CRLF
TESTING
.
250 OK
QUIT
220 CLOSING CONNECTION
==========================================================

I suspect that when you type RCPT TO:e-mail addy
you will get a response that forwarding is not allowed.

You need to go into your exchange server and either allow all e-mail from the 
ip of your AS/400, or allow all incoming e-mail to your domain.  If you are 
trying to e-mail from the AS/400 to outside your domain, you will have to allow 
all e-mail from the IP address of your as/400.

Go to your Exchange Server Administrator, then to <your 
site>/Configuration/Connections.
Go to properties (one way is Alt-Enter on it).  Click on routing.  That's where
you can add the IP of your AS/400 server.

Donna never came back saying it didn't work, so I guess it did.

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.

How can I check if the problem is with the AS400 or with the exchange
server.

Thanks.

Maricel
