Re: SMTP Journal Codes

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

Rich,

If they have *NONE as the mail router in CHGSMTPA then they are delivering
email directly to the recipients.  Some won't work because a lot of email
servers (the recipient's servers) use reverse dns checking.  And in your
case that doesn't exist.  That's why using a mail router is important.
It's a funnel through which all emails are delivered.

If they are using a mail router for their PCs, they can do the same for
their IBM i.  Just update the Mail Router with the proper info and change
Firewall to *YES and restart SMTP.

If the mail router requires authentication and/or SSL then on V5R4 you'll
need something like MAILTOOL Plus that we offer.  But, if it is an SSL
requirement an it's up to date, no doubt V5R4 won't support the new cyphers.

Contact me offline if you want more assistance.  I'm happy to help try and
get them up and running.
