It formats the message like an MUA, then transmits like an MTA. XMITIP can transmit to any complaint SMTP server. So, it is possible to have sendmail running on your z/OS and configure XMITIP to send to 127.0.0.1 (localhost). This would send the mail to sendmail which would then relay it out to the appropriate receiving email server. I don't think that XMITIP can use SMTP. If by SMTP you mean the one which reads JES output class B with a destination of SMTP. -- John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
