SNDM command writing record to journal QZMF

[scott.r@manches]

When sending emails with the SNDM command.

When an email is send with the SNDM command using the SMTPHOST of LocalHost
This will write records to the journal QZMF in library QUSRSYS.
But if you change the SMTPHOST from localhost to something else then the records will not be written to the journal QZMF
What needs to be changed/started to be able to have the record written to the journal if you change the SMTPHOST from localhost

Cheers

The SNDM must be a vendor third party software, id check with them. I do not have it on my system (v7r1)

What needs to be changed...? The system's e-mail client code needs to be changed (by IBM) or the underlying code for SNDM needs to be changed (probably by you in order to send some user entry to the journal or to a different journal).

Since using a remote SMTPHOST means removing your system's SMTP server from the process, your server no longer has anything to journal. Nothing is sent through it. It's up to the remote server to log whatever happens.

So when not using the IBM i as the email host, the messages don't show up in the IBM i logs? Is that really a problem?

That's like saying "I had lunch at McDonald's" and then complaining that Burger King didn't give you a receipt..
