IPMAILERNAME ??
I see that in z/OS 1.8 I can now specify IPMAILERNAME instead of IPMAILERADDRESS. Will this be included in z/VM at some point? Thanks Lionel B.

As an alternative, define an :Exit. in the DTCPARMS file for SMTP and DIG or NSLOOKUP the name you want prior to starting the server. Copy your SMTP CONFIG from 198 to the 191 and dynamically update the IPMAILERADDRESS to contain the list of IP addresses you discovered. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott

another SMTP question - IPMAILERNAME instead of IPMAILERADDRESS -
Title: another SMTP question - IPMAILERNAME instead of IPMAILERADDRESS - hello VMers, we are sending CMS-files via SMTP to our OUTLOOK mailserver. I have definied the OUTLOOK mailsever in the SMTP CONFIG with the IPMAILERADDRESS statement. Everything works fine. But our network people advised me, that I should not hardcode the ip-address and use an ip-name instead. In the books I cant't find a smt config configuration statement that allows me to use ipmailername instead of a ipmaileraddress. Is there a way to do it anyhow ??? We are running zVM520 and zVM440. kindest regards, mit freundlichen Grüßen, Horst Rempel Systemprogrammierung BG Chemie Heidelberg Germany
Re: another SMTP question - IPMAILERNAME instead of IPMAILERADDRESS -
But our network people advised me, that I should not hardcode the ip-address and use an ip-name instead. Good advice. It's only been 30 years since the introduction of the DNS; it's about time we got past hardcoded IP addresses *anywhere*. In the books I cant't find a smt config configuration statement that allows me to use ipmailername instead of a ipmaileraddress. Is there a way to do it anyhow ??? Not that I know of, or at least not with the VM SMTP code. The way IPMAILERADDRESS is implemented, you have to turn off DNS resolution for SMTP in order to force VM SMTP to deliver everything consistently to the IPMAILERADDRESS destination rather than trying to deliver it directly to the final destination. When you turn off DNS resolution, you lose the ability to use a name instead of the IP address. Several of us have reported this as a bug in the past, but it's never bubbled up to the surface as important enough to fix, as it's documented to work this way. Your best option is to use a Linux guest on an internal VSWITCH or GLAN using private address space (eg 192.168.x.x) as your IPMAILERADDRESS destination in VM SMTP, and have the Linux guest do the delivery to Exchange/Outlook. The Linux SMTP servers permit use of a DNS name as their smart host (and a whole lot more). -- db

It adds two things: - IPMAILERADDRESS ALL (you no longer need the DNS hack) - IPMAILERADDRESS hostname (incl. the LIST option) -IPMAILERADDRESS-+-+-+-+-ip_address-+---+ | | | || | '-ALL-' | '-hostname---' | | | '-' | | ..| | ||| | v|| '-LIST---+-ip_address-+-+-ENDIPMAILERADDRESS-' || '-hostname---' I will warn you up front that hostname is resolved only once. If the IP address changes, you have to issue SMSG commands to reprocess the queue. I like IPMAILERADDRESS ALL the best and use it to point to my Linux gateway that, as you point out, has much better capability. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
