Re: AS400 SMTP relay blocking at V5R1 not working

["John Ross" <jross-ml@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is jims.com in the host file on your AS/400, or is the domain setup so it looks 
like the
AS/400 handles mail for jims.com?  Also make sure you understand "relaying" and 
"Reject
connections from"  relaying means I will accept email for a domain that I do not
handle/backup email for, (NO MX records or an A record if no MX records at all) 
and figure
out what to do with it. Reject connection from means I do not care who you are 
trying to
send email to, I am not going to take anything from you (Blacklisted).
