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

Jeff,

Gotcha. We have similar software that we sell ala carte to be able to do
all the same things (monitor an output queue, convert to html, pdf, then
email).

But each piece also works standalone as not all emails will have
attachments that are a converted spooled file. And not all converted
spooled files are emailed.

Feel free to contact me offline if you want to kick the tires. I'm happy
to help.

ESEND uses both a command interface _and_ it's own subsystem for
"forwarding".

In brief, you tell ESEND to monitor one or more output queues. You then
set up rules for spool files coming to READY status on the output queue.
The rules determine who it gets emailed to, what kind of attachment (PDF,
HTML, etc) to convert the spool file to, and whether it is burst (example:
each salesrep gets only his/her pages). The email address can even be in
the spool file somewhere. It truly is a good product.

I use both ways. I don't know how it does things behind the scenes.

All in all, I am really, really happy with ESEND and all it's
capabilities. It's that pesky SMTP thing on IBM i.

Jeff,

Does the ESEND application use a command interface or something else? I
bet we could write a simply wrapper to override it and use MAILTOOL. I'd
be willing to do that.

Jeff, no, not without them doing some updates on their end. i'd be

happy

to work with them if they wanted to add the functionality, though.

Don't hold your breath. :) I've had Abstract for program
