RE: Configuring SMTP on the AS/400

["Chuck Lewis" <clewis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Carl !

I had seen the F19 in WRKDIRE but what had thrown me was the document saying
"and the SMTP alias" and I was mistakenly looking for a field with the
actual word "alias" in it's description :-)

Chuck:
2 ways.
1.  if you do a WRKDIRE, there is an Fkey (F19) to add/change the name
for SMTP.  Or
2.  Use the WRKNAMSMTP, then option 1 for SYSTEM, and then you can
add/change/delete them there.  As far as I know there is no ADDNAMSMTP
command, but I believe there is an API to update this file
programmatically.

The SMTP address will appear as the from/reply to address when you send
from the AS400.  Otherwise the AS400 makes up an SMTP name line
user.system@domain.com.  Of course this is a problem if someone replys
to the email send via the AS400, so it is always best to enter the names
into the SMTP table.
