Mike,

I was the one who mentioned the 3rd party mail product.  It's called ESEND
and it's made by ASC.  You can get more information at
http://www.asc-iseries.com/, but you'll need to contact them, because they
don't advertise ESEND (they usually bundle it with SEQUEL).

I'm pretty sure ESEND uses the QtmmSendMail API, and one of the tools they
give you is an easy way to start SMTP journalling (the CHGSMTPA command)
and an easy way to display and print the journal entries.  So you'll
probably want to start journalling and check the journals.

I've worked with the JavaMail API, and we just weren't happy with the
initial performance hit, so we never really enhanced our programs (like
adding error handling if the SMTP server is not available).  Then we wound
up buying SEQUEL and ESEND, and that pretty much ended the discussion.  If
you're OK with the initial performance hit, I'd recommend looking at
Aaron's stuff.  It's much more advanced than what anyone else has done.

Mike E.

Hi all.  We are using the API QtmmSendMail to send emails on two of our
iSeries machines.  They are both on V5R2 and are up to date on PTF's.  We
are having some problems (as we have been having since we started sending
emails from the iSeries -- back on V4R4).  Emails get lost.  Emails do not
get sent.  We check for errors when using the API and never get an error in
return.

We would like to use another SMTP server on the iSeries and continue to use
the QtmmSendMail API.  Does anyone know if this is possible?  I am not sure
if the API uses the QMSF processing or directly interacts with the SMTP
server.  What I was thinking is to start a James server (only using the
SMTP
server) and see if I could have the QtmmSendMail API interact with that
server.

Can we set the SMTP server that the API would use?  Any ideas?

Thanks

Mike
