Email direct from IBM i without relay (was: New lower cost IBM i announced)

[Jeff Crosby <jlcrosby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Richard,

Let me ask you a question.  We use ESEND (ever heard of it? :) ) to send
loads of email reports to employees and customers.  It uses the IBM i SMTP
server to email.  We have to use an email relay service installed on a
Windows server in order to do this.

If we were to hire Brad, would he be able to do something on the IBM i so
that this Windows relay is not needed?  And would ESEND still work?  Or is
it totally dependant on the IBM i SMTP service?
