RE: *SYSTEM certificate store password

Hi Jeff,

Brad alerted me to this thread last week.

While I'm not on the development team any more, I asked internally about the use of SMTP.

Apparently Robot Alert has SSL/TLS capability. eSend does not currently.

If you let the support team at HelpSystems know and get this in as a feature request it sounds like they can possibly re-purpose the SMTP logic you need.

Hope this helps.

I should probably state that what I am ultimately trying to do is
send

the

emails from the IBM i out into the world WITHOUT needing a Windows

server

on our office LAN to get it done.

I've

got

thousands using MAILTOOL and loving it. :)

I don't know for sure but last I heard the IBM SMTP serer
can't do

SSL

and

or TLS and authentication is "iffy".

And the settings are server wide for authentication which
won't

work

if

you want to use different "from" addresses. Most cloud
servers

will

override the "from" address with the authentication user id
and

password

account data.

Or if you want to use multiple servers, a global server wide

setting

won't

work in that case.

MAILTOOL Plus is fully configurable at the command level for
each

of

the

settings, and uses configuration files that really helps as well.

I quit fighting with the IBM SMTP server things years ago, not

only

because of these lack of features, but because it was so

unpredictable

and

hard to debug.

The other issue is we use Esend from Help/Systems for

dozens and dozens and dozens of reports. Esend /requires/
the

server for sending the emails.
