The basic protocol is a piece of cake, but dealing with all of the authentication options could be daunting. What is the current status of sendmail? Is there an MSA that you could use?

The exec can convert mainframe files into MIME encoded attachments, with carriage control conversion. And there's a lot of other features. The way it actually sends the email is it generates a stem variable whose lines are STTP format data, then writes that to a DD. The DD has an output destination which is the z/OS Communications Server SMTP gateway on some other system. What I want to do now is use that SMTP data to send email by talking directly to an SMTP server, without using the z/OS SMTP gateway. Is there some Unix way to do this? Preferably that I can call from REXX, but if not that, I can use shell scripts, Python, etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
