Re: SMTP server name

Hello Thomas,

May I ask a few questions on that article?

Of course.

I tried the telnet process described in your article. It didn't work for me
(I was trying to use the iSeries SMTP server). Must be something I still
don't understand because I CAN use the SNDDST command on my iSeries (so I
know the SMTP Server is set up correctly). What am I not understanding?

Where did you type the TELNET command from? Windows? Linux? i5/OS?

What was the actual command-line that you typed?

Do you have any sort of firewall? Port restrictions? Proxies? etc in place? Or is this a direct, open, connection?

I love the idea of using native RPG code, as you present in your article, to
accomplish my e-mail requirements. However, I didn't see how I might attach
a pdf file to the e-mail.

Take a look at the article that preceded that one (link follows) that discusses the format of an e-mail message. In the code download for this article, there's a program named 'attach' that demonstrates how to attach a file from the IFS.

Thanks for all your contributions to message boards and your published
articles. When I see one with your byline, I always read it.

Thanks for all of your kind words.
