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 |
 |
| 8. You have completed
the setup and testing of SMTP DNS support.

Hardware Requirements |
Requires one standard iSeries V.24 SDLC communications line and one ECS (or
Hayes® compatible) modem (or a properly configured SMTP e-mail connection to the
Internet). Works with all alphanumeric and two-way pagers, properly equipped
cellular phones, smartphones, pda's, palmtops, and all numeric pagers. |
 |
|
Software Requirements |
|
ACO PAGER, ACO NET, ACO ESI,
and ACO CLIENT execute on iSeries® systems (all models) running OS/400 Version 5 Release
2 (or higher). ACO Client™ requires WebSphere® Application Server v5.0 (or higher), WebSphere® Application Server - Express,
or any Java 1.3 compliant web application server like Apache. ACO ESI™
requires an enterprise system application like IBM Tivoli® or BMC Patrol Enterprise
Manager®. Your Enterprise System may require the use of WebSphere®
MQ middleware (V5.1 or higher). This software is available from IBM at an additional fee and is
not
included in the purchase of the ACO ESI software product. ACO ESI™
optionally monitors your network connected Windows servers using a Windows
compliant software agent. This software is available (at a nominal fee) from
one of our business partners. |
