Mail - Nondelivery report to administrator

[Theo Kusters]

Hello all,

W're using our model 170 as a SMTP mail server. When a message is being send
to a non existing user the message is being returned to the sender. As an
administrator I would like to receive a notification of this situation.

Any idea how to set this up ?

Hoi Theo,

Undeliverable Mail
If mail is received on the AS/400 for a user that is unknown to the AS/400
SMTP mail system it is
returned to the sender as undeliverable. The message sent back to the sender
will indicate that the
recipient is not known to the AS/400 system. If you want you can disable
undeliverable mail rejections
and receive all undeliverable mail to a specific user on the AS/400 you can
do this by creating a special
SNADS entry and SMTP alias. Before you do this you must install certain PTFs
from IBM. If you are on
V3R7 you must install PTF SF40120. If you are on V4R1 you must install
SF40090.

First create a user profile that can be used for undeliverable mail. You
might name it UNDELIV or
something similar. The password can be *NONE and initial menu can be
*SIGNOFF to prevent anyone
from actually using this profile. Then add a SNADS directory entry for this
user. You might add an entry
named “UNDELIV S1015973” for example. Be sure to specify the local AS/400
system name as the
SNADS address and system name, and specify the UNDELIV user profile. After
creating the SNADS
entry, add an SMTP alias for this user with the SMTP user ID of
“nondelivery” and an SMTP Domain of
“your-domain” where your-domain is the AS/400’s SMTP domain.

You should plan to review messages received to this address on a regular
basis. You can forward mail from this account to an existing SNADS using the
Forward From setting on the directory.

Groetjes,
Paul

PS. Thanks to the company Netmail that created a note on this.
