Re local e-mail on AS/400

[Mike.Barton@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi
     I'm new to this list so apologies if this has already been answered
previously (archive is currently off-line).

A colleague had a go at setting up local e-mail on our AS/400 using
the studio on ibm website:  www.as400.ibm.com/tstudio/ebizv4r3/mail/index3.htm.

It all seems so simple except, we (me as well), cannot get it to work.

Using Netscape Messenger as a pcclient to send mail connects to the AS/400
& prompts for password correctly but then the msg disappears.
The QTSMTPSRVR job cpu to increase but there is a message (TCP2010)  in the
QTSMTPCLNT job saying it cannot forward or return the e-mail (but no
reason given).

The SMTP domain entry (F19 in CHGDIRE) - does this have to be a .co.uk or .com
if we are only using the system internally ?
Do we need to set up our Hosts file on the PC to indicate where the SMTP domain
is ?

TIA

Mike Barton
