Has anyone used this new Email command SNDSMPTEMM?
Your question prompted me to try it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known about it. Thanks for raising awareness. The interface is substantially simpler than SNDDST. I like that.
There seem to be several limitations, which may or may not be relevant to you.
1. There's no option to specify sender and reply-to email addresses. It evidently pulls sender from the user profile that is running the command, and that user must have entries set up in the directory (WRKDIRE + WRKNAMSMTP). What if you want replies to go to a different person, on a different server?
2. There's no option to send (relay) through a 3rd party server. We have customers who want us originate mail on our server, but relay through their servers.
3. It uses the IBM i Mail Server Framework, which is something of a mysterious black box. Errors are not easily discovered.
4. No support for sending HTML formatted email, using HTML templates.
5. No options to send messages from content stored in physical file members or stream files, except as attachments.
