RE: Sending an eMail - alternatives to SNDDST

["Winchester Terry" <terry.winchester@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom,

We use David Leland's SNDEMAIL utility and have found
it extrememly reliable - it works with the standard
SMTP server on the iSeries and uses the QtmmSendMail
API.

I've heard that Brad's MAILTOOL is very cheap and
also does a good job sending mail.  I believe he
wrote his own SMTP server so the IBM version is
not necessary.
