agree !

I really thought JES2 Email Delivery was gonna be straight forward, easy to setup, I"m not sure why z/osmf needed to be the vehicle for email delivery, I agree, why more overhead, why Java?

I wanted to use the notification facility on z/osmf with the workflows, but apparently this didn't work as I expected when trying to assign workflow tasks to other users.

most of my users will continue to use JES2MAIL or some other tool, and I'm ok with that, I don't want to get called in the middle of the night because suddenly JES2EDS is not able to send out notifications via email.

You're correct, that you need to code that card and use JESEDS, and that was my 
point.   None of that was really necessary, which is why we developed 
SyzMail/z.  Actually we developed it several years before IBM, and I still 
wonder why IBM came up with such a convoluted way to send email when it could 
have been done without any JCL or the overhead of z/OSMF at all.  It's almost 
like they had z/OSMF in their back pocket and were trying to think of something 
to make people want to use it.
