It pains me that the IBM i needs Windows in order to send email. That's
what sticks in my craw. I want the IBM i to not need another server to
send email.

In regard to sending email from IBM i (applications, command line, etc.), a
separate relay service (Windows, Google, Message Labs, whatever) is not
required. Perhaps others can explain the "benefits", if any.
