RE: SMTP via Google relay has changed status to: Not under consideration -- MIDRANGE-L

× 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.

We just switched to Office 365. Our IBM i sends email all the time using SMTP with the right connectors. I'm working towards relaying the email via TLS, but I haven't had time to finish the setup yet.

Here are some docs you can start with:

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-configure-smtp-client-use-smtp-authentication-smtp-relay

I believe there are other options as well, but this has worked well for us.

No. They probably changed it because it's difficult and they don't want to
tackle it.

This is a big issue. We have at least 3 applications on our IBM i that has the
ability to send email messages, but only via SMTP. And we're a very small
shop.
We use O365 as of last year... By default, no new O365 accounts (as of a year
ago) allow SMTP - it's a security risk. We had to configure one email address
so that it has the ability to authenticate in a different manner.
