Thanks to all that responded, the information supplied is very helpful in understanding the process.
We've been hanging in there and it appears this single-task process solution is not working very well for us. Been contemplating alternatives and have noticed that once there are not any files to receive, the delivery of the notes does speed up (to one every 1-2 seconds). Is there a way not to setup one SMTP to only receive & another to only deliver? Or have two SMTP servers, one to receive and another to deliver? We are a long way to z/OS r1.11 for our immediate problem.
