Configure e-mail

You can set up e-mail by configuring TCP/IP, setting up Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and Post Office Protocol (POP) servers, and starting the e-mail servers. You can set up your iSeries™ server to be an e-mail server.

  You can use iSeries Navigator to configure and manage Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and Post Office Protocol (POP) e-mail servers.
• Configure TCP/IP for e-mail

• Configure Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and Post Office Protocol servers for e-mail
  To use e-mail, you need to configure Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and Post Office Protocol (POP) servers on your iSeries server.
• Enroll e-mail users
  You need to create user profiles to enroll e-mail users. User profiles are how iSeries server identifies an addressee or sender of e-mail. Any user you want as part of your e-mail system must have a user profile on the iSeries server.
• Start and stop e-mail servers
  Start the required iSeries servers to ensure that everything works properly and all the configuration changes you made take place. Sometimes, it might be necessary for you to restart the servers. This can be done by stopping the servers, and then completing the steps to start the servers again.
