Re: SMTP server -- MIDRANGE-L

The machine is currently IPL'ing (looooot's of spoolfiles, 1hr aprox).
But the PTF that fixes that APAR if from 2008, in the dev partition it's
sup'ed by one installed in the lastest cumulative, but i have to assume
it's installed on the prod partition.
Will check anyways once it comes up.

Thanks!

I'll just replace the & on the english message with my values:

Start Mail Server Framework (STRMSF) command to start message processing

It's the same as googling the error, only the message ID is different as
expected.

Ending SMTP and MSF, and doing STRTCPSVR *SMTP causes this on QHST:

Trabajo 683068/QTCP/QTSMTPSRVD arrancado el 06/08/13 a las 16:32:33 en

06/08/13 a las 16:32:34; se utilizaron 1 segundos, codigo de
finalizacion 0

That last one, expanded says:

el

trabajo finalizo despues de 1 pasos de direccionamiento con un codigo
de finalizacion secundario 0. Los codigos de finalizacion de trabajo y
sus significados son los siguientes:

-------------------------------------------
and it goes on explaining the exit codes, but since both are 0 i dont
think i need to paste them, do i?
Doing a DSPJOBLOG on that job brings me only .. (two dots) as the
joblog, doing F1 on that brings me the user that ran the strtcpsvr,
time and etc but the same two dots as the message.

I'm rather fond of the linux-habit of being extremely verbose on the
logs, and IBM i has always done that, it's the first time i see an
empty message like that...

No antivirus, and ASP was recently expanded and is just at 69,29% In
fact, MSF seems to work (it has it's 3 jobs running), it's just that
the QTSMTPCLTd and QTSMTPSRVd jobs are NOT running and wont start
with strtcpsvr *smtp.
Just logged into the dev partition (last PTF install, a month ago)
and it has both jobs running on qsyswrk.

Sent by: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx

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!
