Except that the software that runs midrange.com doesn't exist on the
iSeries.  David uses sendmail with SpamAssasin.  Whatever spam filtering
software exists for the iSeries probably isn't as cheap (sendmail and
SpamAssasin are free).  And honestly, judging by the number of posts on
this list about the iSeries SMTP server, I don't think that the iSeries is
a very good mail server.

Eating your own cooking (or eating your own dogfood) does not always mean
ignore the rule "use the best tool for the job".
