Hi all,

I haven't configured smtp server on IBM i yet (i prefer to dabble with VIOS
and Dual VIOS yet) so i dont know how a working smtp/msf enviroment looks
like. But... on an already working and heavely used smtp/msf system,
suddenly smtp doesnt start. MSF does but a test snddst mail (that on the
joblog appears as sent) creates CPFAF98 errors on qhst.
I've tried stopping MSF, stopping the SMTP server (not that it's running)
and then:
strtcpsvr *smtp
strmsf *reset
But netstat confirms that nothing is listening. Also, QTSMTPSRVD (which i
assume is the smtp daemon) starts and ends with a joblog that consist of
".."
In a few hours i get the machine and i'll do what i shouldn't have to do,
IPL.
System is v5r4 last updated somewhere last year, i'm waiting to install
ptfs on it, but if it was working until yesterday i doubt it's PTF related.
Any tips regarding this (besides, stop using it and migrate to one of the
various free alternatives, which i've peddled here already) is welcome.

Thanks!
