We wanted to avoid setting up hundreds of users, so we do SWPUSRPRF, only had to setup one user.

Hi

Thanks Rob for testing that on your machine. It confirms what we suspected. Looks like we'll simply bite the bullet and set up users in the system directory. It works, it's simple and we understand the process.

I do wonder about the "tricks" that your system uses to build the 'from' address. How does it get information from their Notes account? But there's no point for us to wonder too much because we don't use Notes. (I assume you mean Lotus Notes.)

The "nice guy" part is a given.

Thank you

We don't use SNDSMTPEMM. And a command exit program changes any usage
of SNDDST to a different email package (SNDEMAIL). We have tricks for
determining the 'from' address. We make no use of the system
distribution directory. It's all custom code trying to tie some
information from their user profile into their Notes account (if any).
Failing that, our most common default is postmaster at dekko dot com.
But, because I'm a nice guy, I'll try some tests...

CRTUSRPRF DUMMY
Sign on as that person
SNDSMTPEMM RCP((ROB@xxxxxxxxx)) SUBJECT('test from dummy') NOTE(TEST)
User DUMMY not enrolled in System Distribution Directory.

ADDDIRE USRID(DUMMY GDISYS) USRD('delete me') USER(DUMMY)

SNDSMTPEMM RCP((ROB@xxxxxxxxx)) SUBJECT('test from dummy') NOTE(TEST)
Send E-mail Successful.
This one came from dummy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi

Yes, we know that. We used the command:
CHGTCPDMN HOSTNAME('iseries') DMNNAME('company.com')

And our emails have a from address of: userprofile@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

So we don't understand Rob's suggestion. What are we not understanding?

Rob... do emails sent out by your iseries have a from address of:
userprofile@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
or userprofile@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thank you

cfgtcp

or CHGTCPDMN
Host name . . . . . . . . . . . 'GDISYS'
Domain name . . . . . . . . . . 'corp.dekko.com'

Now that you know that, what do you do about that?

Hi
When the iSeries sends email, using SDNSMTPEMM command, how does it
determine the domain part of the sender's email?
Our email is being sent out with a from address like this:
userprofile@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It should look like this:
userprofile@xxxxxxxxxxx

Why is the "iseries" part being added to the domain?

If we add the user profile to the directory (WRKDIRE) and specify
the
SMTP
address (F19=Change name for SMTP) for the user, the email from
address comes comes from there and appears as we want it to appear.

If we don't add the user profile to the directory, email can still
be sent, but the from address is, "userprofile.iseries.company.com"

Do we have to add each user to the directory? Then specify the SMTP
user
id and SMTP domain for each user?

We're trying to avoid having to add directory entries and SMTP user
ids for hundreds of users.

Here are the 4 commands we used to configure email on the the iSeries:
CHGTCPDMN HOSTNAME('iseries') DMNNAME('company.com')
CHGTCPHTE INTNETADR('10.555.55.55') HOSTNAME((company.com) (iseries))
CHGSMTPA RTYDAY(0 0) RTYHOUR(0 0) MAILROUTER('EXCHANGE.COM')
FIREWALL(*YES) DIALSCD(*NO)
ADDDIRE USRID(INTERNET SMTPRTE) USRD('SMTP email')
SYSNAME(INTERNET) PREFADR(*NETUSRID *IBM ATCONTXT)


Thank you
