Hi, XMITIP has a new interface to connect directly to the SMTP relay: XMITSOCK. But you have to organize the situation that the email can not be delivered (define standards for email recovery datasets and an appropriate procedure). This is normally / in other cases done for you by the TCPSMTP task which reads from spool.

If by SMTP you mean the one which >reads JES output class B with a destination of SMTP. > Destination? or writer? Oooooh. Which universe are we in? That one, or the one in which SMTP means RFC 822? Are you saying that XMITIP connects directly to Port 25 of the target host? In the Installation Guide at: http://www.lbdsoftware.com/XMITIP-Install-Guide.pdf I find no references to sendmail and numerous to SMTP. The most telling is: 3. Quoting from the z/OS 1.4 Communications Server IP Configuration Guide: ?Because SMTP needs authority to create, read, write and purge data on the JES spool, any security programs such as RACF, protecting JES spool access, must have the SMTP started task name in their definitions of authorized users?. Thus you may need to have the local security group issue the appropriate security commands to allow the SMTP server this access level to the spool. But also: Be aware that this document does not tell you how to install and configure SMTP on your OS/390 or z/OS system. For that you will need to see the IBM documentation. If you are not using the host based SMTP server and still want to use this package you can by using the provided UDSMTP program (documented below). It sounds as if UDSMTP is the direct Port 25 interface (or perhaps an interface to sendmail?) -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Atos Origin GmbH, Theodor-Althoff-Straße 47, D-45133 Essen, Postfach 100 123, D-45001 Essen Telefon: +49 201 4305 0, Fax: +49 201 4305 689095, www.atosorigin.de ING Bank AG, Frankfurt/Main: Konto 001 014 0937, BLZ 500 210 00, Swift / BIC INGBDEFF, IBAN DE74 5002 1000 0010 1409 37 Geschäftsführer: Winfried Holz, Handelsregister Essen HRB 19354, Ust.-ID.-Nr.: DE147861238 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
