RE: iSeries as mail server

[Bryan Dietz <BDietz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This shouldn't fix the problem, but have you tried another mail sending
program besides SNDDST??

I have had good luck with SNDM (
http://homepage1.nifty.com/uzaemon/#download )

It has a parm for a relay host, so you could try using the verizon.net
host.

Good luck,
