AS/400 SMTP and TCP/IP Resources

You have four communication options available to establish e-mail exchange between an AS/400 and a LAN or the Internet. NetMail supports all of these options.

*** Use the Net400 provided SMTP/POP3 server and client interface facilities.

Use the Native SMTP interfaces included in the AS/400 operating system.

Use SNADS for those LAN environments that support SNADS.

Use the Net400 provided MHS interface in conjunction with a Client Access shared folder linked to a gateway PC. NetMail*400 programs administer and direct the mail as it flows through the Client Access shared folder to a message router running on the PC.

*** Preferred option - This is now incorporated the Release 10.xx software. It bypasses the entire AS/400 SMTP code base for sending e-mail and file attachments from the AS/400. It is easy to install, configure and administer.

Shown below are some of the ways to integrate e-mail with this resource.

You May:

Attach multiple SNADS interconnected AS/400s, running NetMail, to the Internet under a single domain name through AS/400 SMTP.

Send file attachments as e-mail to any other SMTP based e-mail server under the enterprise domain name.

Send and receive e-mail with external SMTP servers, such as Exchange, Notes and Groupwise, and forward to other NetMail supported gateway connections.

Use AS/400 applications and NetMail's API feature  to generate, send, receive and process text based business transactions via e-mail.
