Re: Anybody know any more than I do about Amazon Simple Email Service?

[Brad Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

The IBM SMTP server is not equipped to handle newer authentication methods
for SMTP.

With Google and MS moving away from user/pw authentication I can imagine
Amazon doing the same.  They all eventually follow suit.

I personally think your best solution if you don't want to change anything
except the mail router in CHGSMTPA is find an app for a PC or linux box
that can proxy between your IBM i and the SMTP endpoint so you can point
your IBM i at that proxy system that would be internal.

It's a bandaid, but unless you want to change a lot of code, that's your
best bet.  But also another link in the chain.
