The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
All mail clients, which your iSeries is acting like to send email, has to look up the Main Exchange, (MX), record in DNS for the domain it is trying to send to. If they changed the internal IP they also need to change the internal MX to match.

Subject: DNS lookup for SMTP
Our Exchange admin changed the server IP today, and IBMi was no longer able to relay mail. My SMTP server has the hostname of the Exchange server. The Exchange admin says that IBMi is resolving the host name using the MX record in DNS instead of the A record in DNS. I have a Dick-and-Jane understanding of DNS, and I'd never heard of an MX record before today.
Can anyone shed some light on this? What record type should IBMi use? Is there a way to configure it?
