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

Richard,

Using MAILTOOL emails are sent with a mail server. It doesn't matter if
that server is a local one, or in the cloud or requires authentication or
SSL/TLS/OAuth

So the point is moot.

When I was referring to an email proxy it was a PC that it's only job is to
handle the authentication or SSL required by the main mail server. I'm not
saying get rid of the mail server, but an email bandaid proxy I am saying
get rid of it and go IBM i native.

One caveat of your approach Brad is that often emails will bounce if not
relayed from a particular host such as the main mail server.

That's worse than not being able to send with TLS because the customer if
left scratching their head wondering why the direct send isn't working but
the mail relaying is.

If you're already relaying mail out of the 400 with Esend stick with that
process if it's working.

The grass isn't always greener or cheaper when it comes to mail delivery
unless you give out your 24 x 7 personal speed dial :-)

Richard,

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?

Yes, our MAILTOOL (with MAILTOOL Plus) software can rid you of the PC
proxy for sending email. It is totally independent of the IBM i SMTP/MSF
service in this case. And only about $580 a year per partition. That's it.
