That makes perfect sense to me.  I don't think it's the same thing that
Jeff is saying, though -- if it is, then I REALLY don't understand the
situation at all.

My understanding is that his iSeries is sending out e-mails using SNDDST,
and it works perfectly fine, except when sending to a particular group of
cell phones -- which doesn't work.

If his problem was that he was using a different ISPs MTA as you suggest,
then either all e-mails would fail, or all e-mails would succeed.

And, in any case, I thought he ws running his own MTA on the iSeries?
