Re: Delayed email (sent through QtmmSendMail, either directly or via MMail)

James,

Are you sure you're going through GMail's relays/servers for delivering
mail? I've seen a lot of people who have set things up and it wasn't set
up properly and while they thought they were using GMail, they were
actually delivering the email directly with no intermediate server/relay.

What OS version are you using?

What are your settings for CHGSMTPA?

What about other settings for each user for authentication with GMail?

As always, you're welcome to try using MAILTOOL for free to do some traces
and see if it can be recreated.

See this article for instructions on how to do that with GMail and
MAILTOOL, and feel free to contact me with questions.

You will want to specify DEBUG(*YES) on the MAILTOOL command as well to
generate a trace file. It will be named /tmp/mailtoolsmtp_xxx.txt where
xxx is a sequential and unique ID.

You will need to also supply

I think I've brought this up before. We have lately been having issues
with automated email from our AS/400 being delayed. It's all being sent
via QtmmSendMail: one program calls it directly, from RPG, while two
others use Giovanni Perotti's MMail front-end, from CL.

This morning, this happened with a "server status" email that goes out
twice a day, to three different target addresses, using three separate
calls to MMAIL/EMLPTUMSG. The first and the third (to my work email
address, and to my personal email address, respectively) arrived with
little or no delay.

The second one (to my boss's work email address) was delayed over half
an hour.

We have our work email through GMail.

Near as I can tell, in previous investigations, everything makes it out
of the building just fine, and our best guess was that graylisting
software on the receiving end was the source of the delay.

But in this case, both my work email (no delay observed) and my boss's
work email (over half an hour delay) are through GMail, so why should
one be delayed and the other not, especially since these same emails
have been going out, to the same three target addresses, twice a day,
seven days a week, for almost six years?

Anybody have any ideas of where to look?
