Yes, that will work, but if you have SMTP in the autolog section of your
tcp/ip profile (for example:)
AUTOLOG 5
...
SMTP
...
ENDAUTOLOG
you will find the SMTP address space being cancelled and restarted every
5 minutes. Of course, you can always remove it from here and start the
task by other means.
