Hilary,
If you are just getting started with SMTP on the mainframe, you might want
to consider the "newer" mail server called CSSMTP. It definitely has some
additional functionality and it may also address some security concerns.
Also, SMTP won't be supported beyond z/OS V2.2, so depending upon which release
of z/OS you are running, you will eventually have to "upgrade" to CSSMTP
anyway!!

This is normal behavior for the described process. The IEBGENER step ends
successfully (RC=0) and the output is placed in spool.
At some later time, SMTP retrieves the data from the spool and attempts to
send it to the appropriate destination.
Most shops I have encountered, configure SMTP to send the mail to the
"corporate" email server for distribution.
HTH,
Another alternative might be to use the SMTPNOTE REXX

Subject: Help with email
Until now our site's use of email from the mainframe has been very limited, due
to security concerns.
However I am not to be allowed to use email in a limited way.
The JCL I was told to use was
//S16DBNA1 JOB (XO,005,0099,1,0),NAT,NOTIFY=&SYSUID,
// TIME=(001,39),CLASS=O,
// REGION=5M
/*JOBPARM SYSAFF=BL1A
//IEBGENER EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//SYSUT1 DD *
HELO N1
MAIL FROM:<HILIRI_HORVITZE@SNIFIM.BLROOT<mailto:HILIRI_HORVITZE@SNIFIM.BLROOT>>
RCPT TO:<HILARY_H@SNIFIM.BLROOT<mailto:HILARY_H@SNIFIM.BLROOT>>
DATA
SUBJECT:SUBJECT LINE
HALLO . THIS IS EMAIL
FROM THE MAINFRAME.
BYE .
.
QUIT
/*
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(B,SMTP)
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=V
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=V
But I have a few problems with this.
If the email fails the job ends with a 0, and until a rejection email arrives
back to me, I have no idea of problems.
I have a feeling we have a hole in the knowledge of our tcp people here. Is
this the way to work ? Surely the job should be able to know if the email was
sent?
I came from VSE environment where we were given responses.
Is this the best way to send emails ?
What am I missing ?
Hilary
PS the jcl above works with no problems, so don't try and debug it please ;)
