Re: Question regarding SNDDST -- MIDRANGE-L

Alan,
Did you try sending the email to just yourself as a test for single recipient?

Thanks,

Thanks for your reply Jack
i believe the best way to answer your question is the following
e-mail sent with one e-mail address. User did not receive
e-mail sent with the same e-mail address PLUS my e-mail. BOTH recipients
received the e-mail

Alan, in the first attempt it is trying to email to a distribution lists,
in
the attempt that you did all the intended folks got the email(no
distribution list involved). Is there a problem with the distribution
setup
on the email server side possibly??

Sorry, Alan, I really thought I had put more into that message. So you
know, with some e-mail programs it is possible to filter on certain mail
differently based upon whether you are/not the only person on the
distribution. Apparently this doesn't fit your environment. Carry on.

Sorry Dennis I have to disagree.
The first SNDDST I ran with only their e-mail address The second SNDDST
I ran with their e-mail address PLUS my own I received the second
SNDDST The user confirmed that they had received only one, and that one
had my e-mail address as well as their own

With respect, Alan, there was a lot more to my reply than that.

My money's on the recipient's junk mailbox. No telling how much time we
have lost to that.

Thanks for your reply Dennis, unfortunately none of these options are
able to tell me if an e-mail was successful or not

A) Nothing obvious to me. One thought is: You cannot send a message
if you are not in the system directory, so if you were doing this
under different IDs, you might want to look there. Another would be
to look at the joblog of the job where the first (failed) entry was

sent.

Anything there? Next, take your successful mail, remove your ID and
send again. Finally, look in the recipients trash/junk/suspect/spam
folder(s).

B) No, since the entries are queued rather than delivered by SNDDST

C) Go CMDDST. Look especially at option 8 (DSPDSTLOG) and 9
(DSPDSTSRV) but you may find other useful options also.

A weird thing is beginning to happen with using the SNDDST We had

some

users complain that they did not receive a particular file sent

from

the system using SNDDST (see 1. below)

1.
SNDDST TYPE(*DOC)
TOINTNET((emailgroup@xxxxxxxx)
(*NONE *CC) (*NONE *CC)) DSTD('ARCANE
FILE') DOC(DOCFILE.TXT) FLR(DOCFLDR)

The file was still there, so I wrote a quick CLLE program to e-mail
the file using the same SNDDST command I then realized I should

have

included myself, so I changed the SNDDST command to below

2.
SNDDST TYPE(*DOC)
TOINTNET((emailgroup@xxxxxxxx)
(alanshore@xxxxxxxx *CC) (*NONE *CC)) DSTD('ARCANE
FILE') DOC(DOCFILE.TXT) FLR(DOCFLDR)

I contacted the person involved, and they replied that they had

only

received one e-mail, the one with my e-mail address in it

Three questions
A. Does anyone see why the first SNDDST should have a problem B. Is
there anyway to determine within the program if the e-mail from the
SNDDST command was not received C. Is there anyway to determine
outside of the program (after the fact) if the e-mail from the
SNDDST command was not received
