RE: Configuring the SMTP server as a relay server

I think this is all I had to set up, it was years ago.
Change SMTP Attributes (CHGSMTPA)

Type choices, press Enter.

User ID delimiter . . . . . . . '?' *SAME, *DFT, ?, =, ., &, $...
Mail router . . . . . . . . . . 'PSIEXCHANGE'

You said

I was under the impression that the IBM i SNDDST command was NOT able
to "relay" through an external SMTP server such as Exchange, so I kind
of doubt that Exchange ever "touched" the outgoing mail.

I said incorrect as it's easy for IBM i to relay mail out another server rather than deliver mail itself.

look at the MAILROUTER and FIREWALL (and in 6.1+ the FWDMAILHUB) parms of the CHGSMTPA command..

I'm starting a new thread because configuring the SMTP as a relay is
only a tangent to Paul's text message concerns. I looked at the SMTP
properties in System i Navigator and could not figure out how to set
up the server as a "relay".

Could you share how to do it?

I'm aware of various email interfaces that enable folks to bypass the
IBM i SMTP server altogether, and relay at will, but how do you
configure IBM i SMTP to relay?

Thanks,
