Re: AS/400 Locking up

[John Ross <jross-ml@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What does WRKACTJOB say?

If you are not sending emails from it  do an ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*SMTP)   a
spammer may of found your AS/400. Look at all the tcp services and end the
ones you do not use and change them so they do not start up on their own,
for SMTP it is CHGSMTPA
