RE: Change sender in SNDDST command

[qsrvbas@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Tom Liotta)]

I know this is late, but haven't had a lot of time here lately.

An alternative is to execute the SNDDST in a separate usrprf(*OWNER) program 
that has sufficient authority to call the QSYGETPH and QWTSETP APIs to swap to 
a generic profile. The SNDDST will run under the new *CURRENT user, then the 
swap can be reversed before returning to the calling program.

The generic profile would be the only one needing an SMTP address in the system 
directory. The address might be CONFIRMORDERS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or 
SUPPORT@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or whatever is needed for a given generic procedure.

Of course, this doesn't mean individual users shouldn't have SMTP addresses, 
but this technique can reduce maintenance.
