Support Internet addressing for the SNDDST command

You can send an e-mail to the Internet with the Send Distribution command (SNDDST) by entering an Internet e-mail address at the Internet Recipient prompt.

Does your network use iSeries™ SNA distribution services (SNADS) and an office application to send and receive e-mail? If so, configure your mail system so your users can use Internet addresses with the SNDDST.

Follow these steps to configure your mail system:

  1. In the iSeries character-based interface, type: ADDDIRE USRID(INTERNET GATEWAY) USRD('Allow SNDDST to send INTERNET Mail') SYSNAME(INTERNET) MSFSRVLVL(*USRIDX) PREFADR(NETUSRID *IBM ATCONTXT)
  2. Type CHGDSTA SMTPRTE(INTERNET GATEWAY) and press Enter.

Now your SNADS users can send e-mail to the Internet with the SNDDST command by entering an Internet e-mail address at the Internet Recipient prompt.
