Hi Hal, Funny you should bring the pitfalls up. I mentioned several of them yesterday when the subject was brought up to me, asking how they would handle them. The response I got back was the "deer in the headlights" look and a "I dunno" response.

We send a lot out every day. Something to consider, however, is that we found that email delivery of critical reports to customers to be unacceptable. Our side worked perfectly, but we found full mailboxes, people out of the office, reports too large, accidental deletion, broken PC's, etc, etc, etc. That is, we had no control over the far end and yet we still got beat up when the reports were delayed/lost. And that was before the requirement to encrypt sensitive data. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Pommier, Rex R. Sent: Tuesday, October 06, 2009 4:35 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: mainframe e-mail with attachments Hi all, Sorry in advance for the probability that this has been discussed in the past but I did some searching of the archives and didn't hit much. What I'm looking for is an e-mail package running on z/OS that will allow me to attach files to e-mails for sending out. I found many hits on XMITIP but really nothing else. What all is out there that will allow me to do this? At this point it is a research project to present to mgmt. In addition to XMITIP I found SMTP-Send. Any other products that anybody is using? Pros/cons would be welcome. Private responses back if you don't want to talk about products on the list would be welcome as well. Thanks in advance.
