RE: Little help on email using SNDDST or QtmmSendMail

Well, maybe the other gent was right.  That after SMTP gets started, then 
MSF recognizes this and no longer has issues and stops pumping out the 
message that the tcp jobs are not started.

But if you do an ENDTCPSVR *SMTP and do a SNDDST as an email, and then do 
a WRKJOB QMSF see if you don't have something in one of the joblogs about 
smtp jobs not running.  And see if STRTCPSVR *SMTP allows it to start 
sending, or if you have to do a ENDMSF / STRMSF *RESET after the STRTCPSVR 
also.

Odd... I've used both MSF and SMTP in various ways since each first 
appeared. I have never seen either be dependent on the other being 
started.

Granted, a given e-mail item that needs to pass in either direction 
between them will not proceed until the other is started, but that has 
never caused job failures on either side for me as far as I can remember.

Might be interesting to know what would cause this trouble in order to 
avoid it in the future. Since V5R1, I haven't used SMTP much under OS/400 
since it isn't needed much here so maybe something's new; but I do start 
it once in a while for specific tasks. MSF is often started for object 
distribution within our network, but even it isn't always running.
