Re: ISP blocking port 25, how to send mail from Iseries

["Art Tostaine, Jr." <atostaine@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am telnetting from the Iseries.  Mailtool has option to use SMTP or
not. When I don't use SMTP, it works.  When I use SMTP, it does not.

In both cases, Brad's debug logs show a successful completion.

I tried FIREWALL(*YES) and (*NO), both with restarts, and they do not work.

I'm lost.
