<div><p>You depend on electronic mail (e-mail) as an essential business

tool. The iSeries™ server
|

uses protocols, like Simple Message Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and Post Office

Protocol (POP), to make your e-mail run smoothly and efficiently on the network.</p>

<dl><dt class="dlterm">Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) is a standardized method
|
||
|
|
for organizing divergent file formats. SMTP is limited to 7-bit ASCII text
|
||
|
|
with a maximum line length of 1000 characters. MIME was developed to support
|
||
|
|
more advanced file types, such as rich text, images, and audio or video files.
|
||
|
|
MIME encodes files of binary type data to appear as simple SMTP data, using
|
||
|
|
headers to distinguish different file types within the message, before sending
|
||
|
|
the message with SMTP. The mail client then receives the message and decodes
|
||
|
|
it to the proper file types by interpreting the MIME headers to read the file. </dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">AnyMail/400 framework</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>All incoming mail from SMTP for local users (users with mail accounts
|
||
|
|
on this iSeries server)
|
||
|
|
is processed by the AnyMail/400 framework. The mail server framework is a
|
||
|
|
mail distribution structure that allows the distribution of e-mail. The mail
|
||
|
|
server framework calls exit programs or snap-ins to handle specific mail types.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">SNADS</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>System Network Architecture Distribution Services (SNADS) is an IBM<sup>®</sup> asynchronous
|
||
|
|
distribution service that defines a set of rules to receive, route, and send
|
||
|
|
electronic mail in a network of servers. In this topic, SNADS refers to a
|
||
|
|
user's profile in which the <span class="uicontrol">Preferred address</span> is set
|
||
|
|
to <span class="uicontrol">User ID/Address</span>. The preferred address tells the
|
||
|
|
mail server framework what fields to use in the system distribution directory
|
||
|
|
for the address. For more information about using SNADS, refer to the SNADS
|
||
|
|
topics in Send and receive e-mail on iSeries server.</dd>
