Re: IBM i SMTP email service

We originally used the SMTP services for email but, as Brad I'm sure will attest, it was just too much work when things went adrift. Subsequently we switched to using PHP for mail - which was a breeze to use and much more reliable. Subsequently we switched to using G suite as the email server, and simply changed the PHP scripts to use the google servers not the local one. Have had no issues.

Another very interesting option is using Python.

There are SMTP and POP3 classes available for Python and it runs really fast and is pretty easy to learn.

I would imagine someone on Mike's team may even already know Python.

Mike,

if you are using IMAP with any email client, you just send your email as usual with SMTP and they can read it on IMAP folder "Sent" or similar.

If you have issues with authentication you can use cURL (from 5770-OPS) to send the emails, including GMail with two factor authentication.

You can check my LinkedIn Post (sorry, in spanish) about using cURL with SMTP servers.

Good Luck

We have used the SMTP server for years to send emails. First with SNDDST and now with API calls. Now we have a business need to see if we can use this email service to let a user connect via POP/IMAP using an email client like Outlook to send emails through the IBM i service. I can find lots of references to using Domino to do this but we don't run Domino. Is something like this possible?

Thanks
