Configuring iSeries SMTP Using DNS |
|||||
 |
|||||
|
Use these instructions to configure your iSeries (or AS/400) SMTP server to perform name resolution (using a DNS server) in place of using your local mail router. You should use these instructions if you experience trouble sending e-mail (from the iSeries) to an external domain name or your network administrator does not allow your mail router to relay mail. |
|||||
|
|||||
|
If you have questions call our SupportLine at (866) 559-0800 option 2 or send e-mail to support@ddlsystems.com. We will be glad to help you! |
|||||
|
|||||
| Please perform the following steps to configure your system with Dual-Stack support: | |||||
|
|||||
| 1. Sign-on the iSeries (or AS/400) with the ACO user profile. | |||||
|
|||||
| 2. Enter the command below. | |||||
|
|||||
| CHGSMTPA MAILROUTER('*NONE') FIREWALL(*NO), then press <Enter> | |||||
|
|||||
| 3. Enter the command below to work with TCP/IP on your iSeries. | |||||
|
|||||
| CFGTCP then <Enter> | |||||
|
|||||
|
Select option 12 (Change TCP/IP domain information) and verify that the IP address of your DNS server is specified at the bottom of the page. You can enter up to a maximum of three (3) DNS servers. Press <Enter> to confirm your changes. |
|||||
|
|||||
|
Ask your network administrator for the IP address of your DNS server if you are not sure of the correct value. |
|||||
|
|||||
|
4. Select option 2 (Work with TCP/IP routes) and make sure the *DFTROUTE record is entered. This entry should point to the IP address of your Internet router (e.g. next hop parameter). If this entry does not exist in the table please add it. |
|||||
|
|||||
| ADDTCPRTE RTEDEST(*DFTROUTE) SUBNETMASK(*NONE) NEXTHOP('your routers IP address'), then press <Enter> | |||||
|
|||||
|
5. Enter the commands below to end the OS/400 SMTP server and the mail server framework jobs. |
|||||
|
|||||
| ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*SMTP), then press <Enter> | |||||
|
|||||
| ENDMSF, then press <Enter> | |||||
|
|||||
|
6. Enter the command below to start the OS/400 SMTP server and the mail server framework jobs. |
|||||
|
|||||
| STRTCPSVR SERVER(*SMTP), then press <Enter> | |||||
|
|||||
| STRMSF, then press <Enter> | |||||
|
|||||
| 7. Enter the command below to display the QSYSWRK subsystem. | |||||
|
|||||
| WRKACTJOB SBS(QSYSWRK), then press <Enter> | |||||
|
|||||
| In the display that results from the above command, verify that there are: | |||||
|
|||||
| 3 jobs named QMSF running | |||||
| A job named QTSMTPBRCL running | |||||
| A job named QTSMTPBRSR running | |||||
| A job named QTSMTPCLTD running | |||||
| A job named QTSMTPSRVD running | |||||
|
|||||
|
If the mail server jobs do not start after following the instructions above, you can do some preliminary troubleshooting by looking at the job logs for the QMSF, QTSMTPBRCL, QTSMTPBRSR, QTSMTPCLTD, and QTSMTPSRVD batch jobs. Most error messages that are found in those logs have a workable recovery procedure or lead to a PTF |
