Re: IBM i as email relay

Did you use the Telnet opion in putty when connecting ?

You can also try connecting on localhost via the IBMi telnet client. I
used to test like that all the time back when SMTP was easier to use 😊

A Windows support person (not knowledgeable about IBM i) said this:

<snip>

The only context I can give here is the following. A Windows relay acts
this way and I have to presume that the IBM is similar.



All 3 of these are related but separate.



- A local server needs to be listening on port 25. I would agree that
it seems like this is true based on the netstat.
- The local server ?allows connection? from everywhere, specific
networks, and/or specific hosts.
- The local server ?allows email relay? from everywhere, specific
networks, and/or specific hosts.



It would seem if you cannot even connect via PuTTY that the second item is
not in place.

Seem reasonable? How/where do I check that?

When you connect to port 25 try typing HELO (sic) and hit enter a
couple of times.
