Stephen, We are using the IPMAILERADDRESS in the SMTP CONFIG file to route all email from VM through our standard email server on the network. The trick is to make sure that SMTP cannot resolve any addresses so that is uses the IPMAILERADDRESS.
There may be an easier/better way, but we put a special version of TCPIP DATA on the SMTP machine. It has the NSINTERADDR commented out so that SMTP cannot use DNS to resolve any addresses. This forces the use of IPMAILERADDRESS.

I think this problem is self induced but I don't know exactly how to fix it, so I'm consulting the group. We send emails to customers directly from the mainframe. ( and excuse me if I don't use all of the correct technical terms). Their email server gets and does a reverse lookup to be sure that the SENT FROM and REPLY-TO servers are the same. In the way we do our emailings from the mainframe, they will never be. Mainframe is vm.llic.com and reply to is LAFAYETTELIFE.COM. Our server/email sysadmin has been wanting me to route emails through an smtp relay. Is there a way I can tell SMTP to send all out bound email through that relay? I've looked in the manual but didn't find anything obvious. TIA Steve .
