Hi all,
I have been looking into this for a while now and I'm not sure there is a
solution, but I thought I would run it past you to see if anyone might have
come up with an answer.
I have my ADCD (thinkpad) based z/os running and it's set up to work with my
home network, (the network is the standard 192.168.1.xxx and the z/os itself
is set to 192.168.1.110). My router setup allows me to get to the ADCD
system (via telnet, FTP and also to my web server) with no problems from any
other PC on my network, and also to get out from the ADCD z/os system to the
internet with no problems using the name server from my DSL connection (SBC).
Anyway, my problem comes up with trying to get SMTP to work, I have it all
set up correctly (at least I think so), but while I can send the UDP to the
name server and get the MX and send a request to the external email servers
on the internet, when SMTP queues the mail to the external email server, it
just sits in that state until the timeout happens and the connection gets
closed.
I believe that it might be related to the fact the IP address
(192.168.1.110) isn't known to the "outside" world so when the email server
does a reverse lookup, it can't find me. I have tried to turn of resolver
for SMTP and use IPMAILERADDRESS to point to my website's email at my DSL
provider, but get the same results. I also get the same results if I point
to our company website's mail server as well. I'll post the Resolver
information below.
Has anyone been successful at getting their ADCD system to be able to send
SMTP email from their home network? I think if I take the system to work
and set it up there, that it might work okay, but that would defeat the
purpose of having it here at home. :)
I have the ADCD system set up to be ADCD.SYZYGYINC.COM (even though it's not
really on the work network), but my home network doesn't have a name and I
thought since the company paid for it that I might as well use that. The
system ships with (I think) ADCD.IBM.COM as the name, so all I changed was
the IBM part and left it at that, I don't think that will cause the problem
I'm seeing, but I'm not sure what I could change it to that would make a
difference with this particular issue.
any help would be appreciated.
Check the archives, around October 2004 we had some
lengthy discussions about SMTP, and all my work was
done on a zPad like you have. Alternatively, if you
send me a note off list I can forward all the saved
emails directly to you (warning: there's quite a
few).
Kind regards,
