I did this:

CHGSMTPA MAILROUTER('outgoing.verizon.net')
         FIREWALL(*YES)
         ALWRLY(*NEAR *LIST)

And I can't send mail because I get this:

NOT ABLE TO DELIVER MAIL TO SOME/ALL RECIPIENTS.
REPLY CODES WITH FIRST DIGIT = '4' OR '5' ARE ERROR REPLIES.
ERRORS THAT DO NOT HAVE ERROR REPLY CODES MAY EXIST.

HOST I5 NOT ABLE TO DELIVER MAIL TO FOLLOWING RECIPIENT(S):
   <jlcrosby@xxxxxxxxx>
ERROR IN BATCH SMTP COMMAND SEQUENCE.
   MAIL FROM:<jlcrosby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
   550 5.7.1 Authentication Required

Which makes sense because I need to authenticate to Verizon.  However I
don't see anywhere in the CHGSMTPA command or in iSeries Nav where I can do
that.  Is that something I have to stick into the Cisco PIX appliance?
