Isn't this an OS390 O/S?, if so, I'm not sure what SDSF REXX interfaces are supported. I have developed some SDSF REXX code (sorry Ed Jaffe ). It does exactly what Tony is looking for. We have some Windows apps that talk back to Tivoli Workload Scheduler and all the output ends up in a Tivoli

I agree that a mail to SPOOL gateway would be nice and an RFE would be appropriate. I'm not sure that I would call dropping the facility a glaring deficiency, but it is certainly unfortunate. I assume that IBM simply wants people to use an e-mail client off of the mainframe. No, adding

Note that silently dropping suspected spam, or silently moving it to a junk folder, greatly increases the cost of false positives. A well managed mail system sends 55x responses and DSNs for suspected spam. Also note that a user may be sorting legitimate mail based on, e.g., source, subject,
