Nice. I see:
final String username = "smtp-username";
final String password = "smtp-password";
Rather than hard-coding, could these be extracted from RACF (or other?)
database? Or kept in suitably protected user-specific files?
RACF? Maybe, but you would have to figure out how to get the data using
Java. Protected files, certainly.
You might want to move all the hard coded items into some sort of
external configuration e.g. read them from DDs. The sample isn't
intended to be the ideal solution, it is intended as a working example
of what can be done, expected to be extended and modified as required.
While you don't want to hard code stuff in production code, it often
makes things clearer in a sample where you just want to understand the
code. Abstraction etc. can be desirable in production code because it
hides implementation details, but the details are what you want to see
in a sample.
What about headers? Ideally, I might expect:
From: z/OS-ID
Sender: "smtp-username"
You can set headers as required:
https://javaee.github.io/javamail/docs/api/javax/mail/internet/MimeMessage.html#setHeader-java.lang.String-java.lang.String-
also:
https://javaee.github.io/javamail/docs/api/javax/mail/internet/MimeMessage.html#setReplyTo-javax.mail.Address:A-
What your mail server allows is a different question - but part of the
original question was how to enforce corporate mail standards on mail
originating from z/OS.
Might these be publicized (not stored) on CBTTAPE.org to attract
users to Black Hill's storefront?
They could certainly be linked etc. from cbttape.org. I'm not sure
whether they would be suitable for the CBT tape itself since it's really
just a sample, not something you would use in production. I have some
ideas for other Java utilities that could be candidates for the CBT tape
however...
