RE: QtmmSendMail API

The MSF(Mail Server Framework) is the reason I moved to something else for
sending email from my iSeries.  MSF would constantly lock up for no reason
and we would try to let it *RESUME and get all of the messages processed,
but it would just hang.  

I developed a tool called RPGMail (http://mowyourlawn.com) that you can
download for free if you want.  It uses JavaMail behind the scenes, and has
been much more reliable than QtmmSendMail.  The biggest drawback to using
anything Java on the iSeries is it can be really slow (mostly on the first
hit, but also after the first hit depending on if you take the time to clean
up your instantiated objects).

Somebody (Mike Eovino I believe) mentioned a couple days ago a third party
that they use for sending mail from RPG on the iSeries.  That would be what
I would look into.

Subject: QtmmSendMail API


Hi all.  We are using the API QtmmSendMail to send emails on two of our
iSeries machines.  They are both on V5R2 and are up to date on PTF's.  We
are having some problems (as we have been having since we started sending
emails from the iSeries -- back on V4R4).  Emails get lost.  Emails do not
get sent.  We check for errors when using the API and never get an error in
return.

We would like to use another SMTP server on the iSeries and continue to use
the QtmmSendMail API.  Does anyone know if this is possible?  I am not sure
if the API uses the QMSF processing or directly interacts with the SMTP
server.  What I was thinking is to start a James server (only using the SMTP
server) and see if I could have the QtmmSendMail API interact with that
server.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Mike
