Re: Emailing from the Iseries through an outside ips

As far as I know, on your AS/400, you only need to change the SMTP
router. But your ISP must be configure to relay mail coming from your
AS/400 (currently, this is very unlikely). If you location has a fix
internet IP adress, this sould not be a big problem for your ISP.

I may not ask this correctly, so bear with me and read between the
lines if
you can.

 

Currently we email out of the as400 by relaying though our mail server
on
the network.

. we do not use the pop server on the as400. We only send, and we do
not
receive.

 

Over the past several months we have had a lot of problems with viruses
on
our network email server.

.. Despite the fact that we have tried everything under the sun to stop
it.
It is taking too much of our time.

.. We are moving to an outside isp to host our email . sooner than I
anticipated.

.. The isp is "1on1". On our network email each user has a secondary
email
user id and logon to them.

.. There actual email address as far as our network is concerned stays
the
same.

.. Most of this part doesn't matter, as no email goes out of the as400
under
an actual user name

... everything goes as a common user name, and errors comes back to
that one
which gets forwarded internally

 

My ? is

 

What do I need to change in order to send out email though this isp.
I'm not
the one setting up the email for our network, but I do have to make
the
as400 work as always, which has been great up to now.

 

A suggestion given is

. setup a new smtp Mail router name which points to an ip address in
the
outside world . at 1on1

. but I'm told I need to be able send along this new secondary userid
and
logon

... which the as400 does not have the ability to do

. I think there is other information 1on1 needs to provide but our
network
person doesn't seem to think so.

 

Don't worry, I'm just as confused as you might be right now.

.. What kind of ?'s do I need to ask to get the right information

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
