In other UNIX and Linux environments typically you'd have another mail transfer 
agent (MTA) already available — or easily available. Popular examples include 
Sendmail and Postfix. (Sendmail the company was acquired by Proofpoint, so that 
company name may pop up.) Angus Mail (formerly JavaMail) is another option. 
Angus Mail runs on the IBM Semeru Runtime for z/OS.

I think Angus Mail requires a little more work to handle retries, checkpoints, 
logging, and various other important features that sendmail and postfix should 
handle "out of the box." Although it can be done.

However, you might end up a bit biased toward sendmail since there's a sendmail 
bridge to CSSMTP included with z/OS UNIX. If your application is adapted to 
(optionally?) use the sendmail bridge to CSSMTP on z/OS then it should work 
similarly or identically when using sendmail as the MTA on other platforms that 
aren't bridged to CSSMTP.
