Making Entries in the System Distribution Directory 

Use

A user who wants to use SAPoffice Internet mail must have a corresponding user in the AS/400 system. The user must not necessarily have the same name - aliases can also be created.

Under OS/400 the user is entered in the system distribution directory. You must insert a comment which states that Internet mails are handled by SAPoffice. This is necessary to distinguish between users who use SAPoffice as a primary mail system and users who only process mails at an AS/400 level.

The SMTP name is the mail address of a SAPoffice user who wants to use Internet mail (SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). The entry in the system distribution directory must therefore contain both the SNADS address (SNADS stands for SNA distribution services) and the SMTP address. In order to distinguish a SAPoffice user from other users at an AS/400 level, you must use the user-defined fields.

Procedure

  1. In order to add an additional user to the system distribution directory, execute the command WRKDIRE .
  2. Enter in field User ID/Address the SNADS address in the form of User ID/Address. (This information is required by the AS/400 system administration)
  3. So that AnyMail/400 mails for users who want to use SAPoffice can be correctly forwarded, enter the value 9 (o ther mail service) in field Mail service level.
