Bill, I was running the SMTP server on my AS/400 and hosting a few email accounts for a while, but stopped because the server was being hammered day and night and especially on weekends by spammers sending mail to bogus accounts at my domain, perhaps just to see if the SMTP server would accept one of the thousands of messages that came through. What a waste of CPU and bandwidth to receive and respond to traffic like that. Maybe there's a service that will filter the bogus traffic incidental to email hosting before it reaches your server, but I hate to use AS/400 CPU and network resources for that kind of garbage.

Is anyone using their AS400 for e-mail? Our e-mail is currently with another company but their servers have been going down more frequently which is making me think it would be best if we hosted our own e-mail. I'm wondering how good the AS400 is with e-mail and if it's easy to maintain with several hundred e-mail accounts. Any ideas, suggestions, or pitfalls to watch out for would be extremely helpful. -Bill ____________________________________________________________________________________ Need Mail bonding?
