Verify the status of e-mail servers and make sure that they are
all running before using the servers.
One of the most common problems with e-mail is that the proper servers
are not started. Perform the following procedure in iSeries™ Navigator to verify the status
of the servers that are integral to e-mail on iSeries server:
- In iSeries Navigator,
expand .
- Verify that the SMTP server is active. Find Qtsmtp jobs
in the Job Name column of the Active Server Jobs list.
- If there are no Qtsmtp jobs listed, start
the SMTP servers.
- Verify that the Mail Server Framework server is active. Find Qmsf jobs
in the Job Name column of the Active Server Jobs list.
- If there are no Qmsf jobs listed, type STRMSF (the
Start the Mail Server Framework command) in the character-based interface.
- Verify that the POP server is active. Find Qtpop jobs
in the Job Name column of the Active Server Jobs list.
- If there are no Qtpop jobs listed, start
the POP servers.
- Verify that the SNADS server is active. Find Qsnads jobs
in the Job Name column of the Active Server Jobs list.
- If no QSNADS jobs are listed, start SNADS. In the character-based
interface, type STRSBS QSNADS.
All your e-mail servers must be started for e-mail
to work.
