I'm not an SMTP guru; neither do I play one on TV. I could use a hand from somebody who is.

On a customer's box:

We found that one of our products that can send programmatically-generated email out of its server using MSF wasn't working because MSF and the SMTP jobs weren't active.

So we tried starting them.

MSF starts, but can't find SMTP.

It can't find SMTP because STRTCPSVR *SMTP gets as far as the "SMTP server starting." message, but SMTP never actually successfully launches.

Looking at their SMTP configuration, I find that the only significant differences are that in the "automatic registration section, USRIDPFX and ADDRESS are different from our production box (but automatic registration is set to *NO both here and there, so I don't know what difference that would make), and their PCTRTGCHR is *NO where ours is *YES.

What else would keep SMTP from coming up?
