RE: AS/400 sending email

I would venture to guess that if your AS/400 is running a mail server,
then it's probably much easier, either by hacking or by using it as a
relay station, to send email through it than it would be for it to send
email without running a mail server.

So far as I know, the only email action that could be called "difficult"
on the 400 would be sending email from it WITHOUT having a mail server
running on it. So far as I know, (a) the only way to do THAT is to write
your own mail client (best done in Java, because of the JavaMail classes),
and (b) given a mail server running on the box, everything else is no more
difficult than it would be with any other mail server.

Yes, I know how confusing the above looks.
