Welcome to the world of SMTP! Default settings on SMTP servers, including OS/400, Domino, etc, append the host name to the domain name to create the "human" name of the sending server. Usually, this is adjusted when configuring the SMTP server.

iSeries Navigator is the place to make all the adjustment you'll need. You can remove the relay setting there. Check out the General Tab under the Network --> Servers --> TCP/IP ---> SMTP properties screen. Also, check out

for the gory details.

Sending it from the Java application on the 400 to my personal email address produces the bounce message I reported previously. The curious thing about the bounce message is that it purports to be from QGATE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx On the CHGTCPDMN screen for that 400, the host name is given as "sirius," and the domain as "private.touchtonecorp.com," but I can't imagine how a bounce message could be coming from the origin point of the original message.

Can anybody point me in the direction of docs and/or previous List traffic on how to get the OS/400-native SMTP sending email directly, without relaying through our mail server? Obviously, it's getting through the firewall, since it's getting to the mail server, so avoiding the relay should be fairly straightforward.
