If you check your active jobs you'll probably find your QMSF is started but
your QSMTP jobs aren't. Make sure that the hostname and domain name you have
keyed into the CHGTCPDMN has a valid host table entry. When the mail server
starts up it looks for itself (to bind to the ip) and if their isn't an entry
matching in the table it starts and stops immediately.
Something to check at least. You can find the host tables through CFGTCP and
then option 10. Hope that helps.

Subject: SMTP Server V5R2
Hi
I am trying to start my SMTP server but it stops after 1 second with the
message below. I've used the set up instructions from here
http://search400.techtarget.com/news/article/0,289142,sid3_gci968106,00.html#
and they are copied below the error message
Message ID . . . . . . : CPF1164 Severity . . . . . . . : 00
Message type . . . . . : Completion
Date sent . . . . . . : 24/11/08 Time sent . . . . . . : 08:20:18
Message . . . . : Job 919710/QTCP/QTSMTPSRVD ended on 24/11/08 at 08:20:18;
1 seconds used; end code 0
X.
Cause . . . . . : Job 919710/QTCP/QTSMTPSRVD completed on 24/11/08 at
08:20:18 after it used 1 seconds processing unit time. The job had ending
code 0. The job ended after 1 routing steps with a secondary ending code of
0. The job ending codes and their meanings are as follows:
0 - The job completed normally.
10 - The job completed normally during controlled ending or controlled
subsystem ending.
20 - The job exceeded end severity (ENDSEV job attribute).
1. Enter command CFGTCP
2. Choose option "20. Configure TCP/IP applications"
3. Choose option "12. Configure SMTP"
4. Choose option "3. Change SMTP attributes"
5. Set value "Autostart server . . . . . . . . *YES"
Automatic registration . . . . . *NO
User ID prefix . . . . . . . . QSM
Address . . . . . . . . . . . QSMRMTAD
System name . . . . . . . . TCPIP
Alias table type . . . . . . . *SYSTEM
Mail router . . . . . . . . . . 'mymailserver@xxxxxxxxxxx'
('mymailserver@xxxxxxxxxxx' is the DNS name of your mail server, please check
first locally which DNS name and TCP/IP address you'll have to use.)
The local mail server DNS name and IP Address has in any case to be added into
the local iSeries TCP/IP Host table using command CFGTCP and option 10. Work
with TCP/IP host table entries.
In our configuration we've added Internet address 111.11.111.111 with Host
Name 'mymailserver@xxxxxxxxxxx'
6. Add following 2 entries in the Directory Entries table:
ADDDIRE USRID(INTERNET GATEWAY)
USRD('Context switching entry')
SYSNAME(TCPIP)
MSFSRVLVL(*USRIDX)
PREFADR(NETUSRID *IBM ATCONTXT)
ADDDIRE USRID(QSMTPDMY QSMTPSYS)
USRD('QSMTP user')
SYSNAME(TCPIP)
MSFSRVLVL(*USRIDX)
7. For each DIRE user you want to send an e-mail to, change his entry using
command (here an example for my own profile on system BASLE.)
CHGDIRE USRID(USERNAME BASEL)
USER(USERNAME)
NETUSRID('USERNAME BASEL')
USRDFNFLD((SMTPAUSRID SMTP 'firstname.lastname') (SMTPDMN SMTP 'company.com'))
MSFSRVLVL(*SYSMS) PREFADR(*SMTP)
firstname.lastname is the part from your email address before the "@" character
company.com is the part from your email address after the "@" character
8. Use command CHGTCPDMN to set
* HOSTNAME to BASEL (BASEL is an example; enter your system name here.)
* DMNNAME to company.com (company.com is an example; enter here your company
domain name.)
To send an e-mail use the following command:
SNDDST TYPE(*MSG)
TOUSRID((USERNAME BASEL))
z DSTD('Description text')
MSG('Message text')
To send e-mails to users not defined in WRKDIRE change once the Distribution
Attributes using this command:
CHGDSTA SMTPRTE(INTERNET GATEWAY)
Up to now, you can use following command (Information type has to be set to
*LMSG) to send directly to an Internet address:
SNDDST TYPE(*LMSG)
TOINTNET(('reciepient email address'))
DSTD('Description text')
MSG('Message text')
LONGMSG('Long message text')
