Re: Email sending problem -- any Google Relay experts here?

If you really want to use the IBM SMTP server, I would suggest you contact
IBM support and explain the issues.

This is especially true if you want to use the smtp-relay.gmail.com as the
middle. It's been getting hammered by spammers and phishing lately... and
is really meant for devices (like printers and fax machines) that can't be
configured to use the proper smtp.gmail.com server which uses TLS and your
account credentials (they have a TLS option in their SMTP server also but
they require a scope that almost no one will be allowed be verified in
their apps.. long story.. I've been through that with Google a couple times
now).

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I'm using MMAIL for testing *precisely* because it's a convenience
wrapper around QtmmSendMail (which the actual back-end application calls
directly).

This morning, I was holding out hope that the problem was that the
Google Relay hadn't yet "ripened." Still no joy.

Here is what my CHGSMTPA currently looks like:

The Google Relay was created to accept anything from the public IP
address of the box, with TLS active. Following instructions, I set a
QIBM_SMTP_SERVER_PORT environment variable at the system level; in
WRKENVVAR, it looks like:

QIBM_SMTP_SERVER_PORT '587'

Am I missing anything?
