Re: SMTP Reset at V5R4 and higher

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hmmm, I assumed that was for incoming mail, not outgoing.  The default
on my machine is *NO.  The help text seems to suggest it's only for
incoming mail.

Maybe you're referring to incoming.  I was referring to outgoing.  I
haven't used IBM SMTP for years (I use my own product to bypass the
whole lot) but I never remember this affecting outgoing mail.  MSF was
used for that.
