RE: mail from AS400 everytime a there's a msg

You don't need to do the DSPMSG - there's also the technique of running
RCVMSG WAIT(0) against an external queue (QSYSOPR), then take action
whenever a message arrives. When done, you loop back and wait for the next
message

But you probably don't want EVERYTHING to go out - some things are
nuisance. That's where these products help you, as Mark has said.
