Re: Sending Email

Sorry a little late on this, but we offer our MAILTOOL product and have for
years. It also has the MAILTOOL Plus option which allows you to bypass the
IBM SMTP server and SMTP which can be a pain for some.

It will also allow you to use SSL/TLS and authentication which a lot more
are needing these days. Even works with Yahoo, Gmail, and Office 365 and
should work with any other cloud based service.

Feel free to check it out. Free trials and great support. :)

We also offer other applications if you're looking for spooled file
conversions, etc.

Len,

Someone on this thread already mentioned easy400's MMAIL utilities.
They do
have an utility to automate the sending of e-mails using a specific
output
queue (which, by the way, it is a simple thing to do when you
associate a
data queue to your *outq).

You can see more info about this capability here:

Rob,
Just about everything we send out has a form wrapped around it - We
have
at least 3 batch lobs that run off-shift that at any given point can
have
400 - 500 pages (not all for the same customer). My biggest concern
is the
form software we use redirects everything to a specific output
queue, from
this outq is where the fax/email software does its thing. I did ask
the
vendor about compatibility (have not heard anything yet)

Where would be a good place to start to learn/understand SMTP,
SNDEMAIL or
even "rolling my own"

Please excuse my ignorance - this is all new to me

Thanks for any help you offer

Len Grieco

Well, using the freebie SNDEMAIL or rolling your own with the
QTmmSendMail
API is a possibility. There seems to be a love it or hate it
feeling
with
the built in SMTP client of the OS.

There's the JavaMail api. It doesn't have the logging
capability of
the
native smtp client and I've heard that java based email solutions
aren't
near as fast when it comes to higher volume.

I'll let the "buy me" people push their own products.

As far as how much it's integrated into your own applications...
What's your level of integration?
Are you saying there's a bazillion programs with SND... for your
email
in
there?
Or, are you saying there's a lot of customized overlays that
differ
based
on fax or email and printer file definitions with user defined
text to
route the email and a lot of intensive stuff like that?

The bazillion programs is easy to fix. I've done that without
modifying
the existing code. We were using SNDDST but switched over to
SNDEMAIL.
There is an exit point that I put a program in. Whenever someone
executes
SNDDST it analyzes the command and switches the parameters
around and
runs
SNDEMAIL instead, quite easily done.
Exit point: QIBM_QCA_CHG_COMMAND Format: CHGC0100

Greetings,

I have been asked to look for alternatives to our current email
software/solution we are using
Some quick background:
currently we are using a 3rd party software that faxes/emails our
clients.
Spooled file(s) is/are created and wrapped with a form (also
3rd party
software) and is sent to an outq.
The email client does what it does (I am quit green when it
comes to
this)
and sends it off to our exchange server.
This has been in place for a very long time and is embedded
heavily
into
our system.
The maintenance cost is the driving factor as to why I was asked
to
search
for alternatives.

We are running v6r1 on a 520
I have started to looked at SMTP, LANSA Integrator, I'm even
open to
hear
about other software available.
Any thoughts/suggestions links would greatly be appreciated.



Thank you
