Re: SMTP exit program?

["Tom Hightower" <tomh@xxxxxxxxx>]

I know nothing of sockets programming.  I can handle RPG quite well, and can
tie an RPG program to an exit point - once I know the ins and outs (as I've
done with our FTP server).

Do you know of an example socket program (written in RPG) that handles SMTP
requests that I could look at?
