Re: Sendin Email to the internet from an AS/400

[Patrick Townsend <townsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Denis,

There is a way to trace the workings of IBM SMTP, but it ain't pretty.
You can turn on the "flight recorder" and detailed trace information
will be created in several files. I don't have this information at hand,
but you can get a white paper on configuring SMTP at the Net400 web site
(http://www.net400.com). In the white paper there is a description of
how to turn on the flight recorder. You might also find this information
in the AS/400 Electronic Mail Capabilities Redbook.
