*SAME
The autostart value that was previously set does not change; otherwise, *YES is used.
*YES
Automatically start the SMTP server.
*NO
Do not automatically start the SMTP server.
Top

Retries by minute (RTYMIN)

Element 1: Number of retries

*SAME
The number of retries that was previously set does not change; otherwise, 3 is used.
*DFT
The number of first-level distribution retries is set to the default of 3.

Top

Retries by day (RTYDAY)

Specifies the number of attempts and the number of days between attempts for SMTP to distribute mail and to retry the remote name server. The RTYDAY parameter is used when the RTYMIN parameter was not successful. If the number of RTYDAY attempts is used and is not successful in distributing mail, a status distribution note is returned to the sender. Because the default on the RTYDAY parameter is set to 0 for the number of retries, this level of retry is not used unless intentionally set by the customer. Either, the RTYDAY or RTYHOUR parameter may be chosen for Second Level retry, but not both.

Element 1: Number of retries

*SAME
The number of retries that was previously set does not change; otherwise, 0 is used.
*DFT
The number of retries is set to the default of 0.
0-9

The number of days between retries is set to the default of 0 day.
0-9
Specify the number of days between retries. If the number of retries is set, the time interval must be something other than 0.
Top

Retries by hour (RTYHOUR)

Specifies the number of attempts and the number of hours between attempts for SMTP to distribute mail and to retry the remote name server. The RTYHOUR parameter is used when the RTYMIN parameter was not successful. If the number of retries is greater than zero, and the time interval is greater than zero for RTYHOUR parameter, the RTYDAY parameter values are not used. If the number of RTYHOUR attempts is used and is not successful in distributing mail, a status distribution note is returned to the sender. Because the default on the RTYHOUR parameter is set to 0 for the number of retries, this level of retry is not used unless intentionally set by the customer.

Mail router (MAILROUTER)

Specifies that a mail router should be used when SMTP cannot find the name and address of the recipient in the system or personal alias tables or when SMTP is not able to resolve the address of the recipient. If you do not want mail routing, you must specify *NONE.

Note: When MAILROUTER(*NONE) is defined, then the FIREWALL parameter will be ignored by the SMTP server.

*SAME
The mail router previously set does not change; otherwise, *NONE is used.
*NONE
No mail router is used.
character-value
Specify the route that outgoing mail on the local system is to take first. Up to 256 characters can be specified.
Top

Coded character set identifier (CCSID)

Specifies the ASCII coded character set identifier (CCSID) that is used to map all single-byte character set (SBCS) data on outgoing mail. This value is also assumed to be the ASCII CCSID for mapping all SBCS data for incoming mail. Mapping is determined by the specified ASCII CCSID and the EBCDIC CCSID of the job.

The CCSID value chosen is the default used by SMTP for ASCII-to-EBCDIC and EBCDIC-to-ASCII mapping. Outgoing and incoming mapping can be done optionally with mapping tables defined in the TBLSMTPOUT and TBLSMTPIN parameters. Normally the TBLSMTPOUT and TBLSMTPIN parameters are set to the default of *CCSID or *DFT. Both values indicate that the value used in the CCSID parameter is used for mapping.

If a mapping table is used for outgoing mapping, a table object can be specified in the TBLSMTPOUT parameter. The table object specified in the TBLSMTPOUT parameter is used instead of the CCSID value.

Incoming mapping can be changed to use a mapping table by specifying a table object in the TBLSMTPIN parameter. This mapping table overrides the specified CCSID value and is used for incoming mapping.

Double-byte character set (DBCS) CCSID values are not permitted for this parameter. DBCS data is self-identifying in SMTP mail.

*SAME
The CCSID value that was previously set does not change; otherwise, 00819 (ISO 8859-1 8-bit ASCII) is used.
*DFT
The CCSID value is 00819 (ISO 8859-1 8-bit ASCII).

Top

Dial-up scheduler (DIALSCD)

Determines if the SMTP scheduler should be started to handle dial-up connections. The scheduler is started as a separate SMTP job. An initial connection is first made using the communications profile to establish either a SLIP or PPP link. The waiting mail is sent, then the job sleeps for the time interval specified. When the time interval expires, the Scheduler reestablishes the communication link and sends any waiting mail accumulated during the interval.

Note: Delivery attempts resulting from the scheduler are not counted as retries. (see RTYMIN and RTYHOUR parameters)
