QGATE@xxxxxxxxxxx is the standard "server" email address for the iSeries SMTP server. What is happening is thatthe iSeries SMTP server is contacting the mail router (in this case Exchange) to transfer the message for delivery.
Except that the Java application, at least in theory, isn't going anywhere near the box's own SMTP server; it's using JavaMail to (again, at least in theory) contact the outside mail server directly. So why would QGATE even be involved in the bounce?
If the mail server were still a dedicated machine, then yes, presumably we could move it inside the firewall, and configure it and/or the firewall so that the web-mail shows up from the outside on (say) Port 8080. I've seen that before. Unfortunately, for the moment, our mail server is running on a box that, for various other reasons to which I'm not privy, has to live outside the firewall.
And as to the rest, you seem to be under the impression that there's somebody here who actually knows what he/she is doing with regard to email configuration. There is no "system administrator"; there's just me, maybe either or both of the other programmers, and the boss, trying to get this thing working. Database access utilities we know. eCRM we know. Java-client-to-ILE-mixed-language-server we know. Terminal emulation we know. If pressed, I can even make API calls, either OS/400 or JavaMail, to send email programmatically. But with this verstenken mess, we're out of our depth.
