That message shows up whenever the SMTP delivers a message to a local user (receiving), transfers it to an RSCS gateway (receiving) or to a remote MTA (sending). There is a companion pair of messages that say where the e-mail came from (local, RSCS, or MTA) and what SMTP learned.

Within the SMTP protocol, the receiving SMTP acknowledges receipt of the e-mail message for delivery. The messages you see on the SMTP console are the "warm fuzzy" messages that let you know the SMTP server is running and doing useful things. If you want to suppress them, you have to put NOLOG in SMTP CONFIG (but don't do that). End users are also given a "Delivered" message when SMTP is able to deliver the message to the next hop (may or may not be final destination). The end-user messages are controlled by the SuppressNotification statement in SMTP CONFIG. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
