RE: Switching from our ISP to Office365 and our software can no longer relay email

Correct, and after checking it is not MMAIL

Even if it is MMAIL, that still uses the IBM SMTP server and MSF so
that's where the configuration is. The problem isn't with the MIME
file (even though there may be updates).

The current method (preparing a MIME file etc.) sounds like it could

be Giovanni's MMAIL software. If it is, then I think a version
update
might address the issue.

Can the OP tell us what the API calls look like?

Your best bet if you can't spend a couple hundred bucks a year on
something like MAILTOOL Plus is to either:

1. Have your IT/eMail team set up a PC to relay between your IBM
i
and Office 365. Then point our IBM i to that PC as it's mail
relay.

That should remove all SSL/TLS and authentication from the
process.

2. Call IBM and spend hours setting things up to hopefully get it
working.

Either option you'll spend more than MAILTOOL Plus with just time
alone.

Hi

In terms of option 2, is it possible to set up a new email
address
(i.e.
like an internal address) for use with the direct mail option and

automatically forward all mail received in that inbox to an
external
address.
In other words, just use an internal address as a "relay"
address.
This would definitely get a bit unwieldy (and maybe expensive) if
you
have more than a handful of addresses.

We are running a Power System with 7.2

I have inherited a program that was written by someone else.
It sends email but does NOT use IBM's SMTP, MSF, SNDDST etc. to

send email

It connects directly to a mail server from an RPG program,
creates
a
mime file and relays the email through the mail server. We now
want
to switch over from using our ISP email server to using
Office365.

Apparently Office365 does not simply allow us to tell then to
accept
relays from our IP address.



From what I gather from Office365 support is I have 3 options:

Option 1 (recommended): Authenticate your device or application
directly with an Office 365 mailbox, and send mail using SMTP
client
submission Requires TLS



Option 2: Send mail directly from your printer or application to

Office 365 (direct send) Direct send cannot be used to deliver
email
to external recipients, for example, recipients with Yahoo or
Gmail
addresses.


Option 3: Configure a connector to send mail using Office 365
SMTP

relay



Option 2 is out because we have to be able to send email to
external
email addresses

We cannot purchase a 3rd party solution

I know very little about setting up/using TLS

My questions:

1. Does anyone here have any experience with what this project
will
entail? And could offer some advice



2. How hard is it to setup Office365 to allow our program to
relay
email through it for a novice TLS person?


3. Does setting up TLS on our Power System require getting
certificate(s)?



4. Since I have very little experience in setting up TLS I am
thinking I might be better off having a consultant setup this
and
document what was done.
Where would a good place be to find a consultant we could
contract

out this setup process? I believe this could be done remotely.

Thanks

Allan
