qmail SMTP server rejecting DB2 email notifications

Hello,

My company runs qmail on their SMTP server, as well as on the Linux
machines that contain DB2 instances. When I used Control Center to
test email notification with a DB2 V8.1.4 server on Linux, I always
got a dialog that said that the test message was sent successfully.
However, I never actually received the test message.

When I asked one of my Linux admins to look into it, he noticed that
the SMTP server (qmail, in thie case) was throwing a 451 error, and
mentioning a URL at http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html

That URL discusses qmail's unwillingness to accept improperly formed
linefeeds (LF instead of the proper CR+LF). Who is in the right here?
Is DB2 trying to send a malformed email message, or is qmail making
false accusations? At the moment, I'm leaning towards qmail being in
the right, since the DAS is clearly ignoring the 451 error thrown by
the SMTP server.

Fortunately, using a different SMTP server (in this case sendmail for
Solaris) is an effective workaround.

If IBM has tested email notification on a Linux SMTP server, which one
did they use?

Hi all My intranet aspx application, needs to send email notifications. I understand there are 2 options for servicing emails in this case: 1) iis smtp service. 2)proprietary email relay server like the company's exchange server. I need to serve only a dozen intranet users. I am not sure what is the advantage of using iis smtp service over the exchangr server here? One advantage is that it should be well synchronized with my application

Hi all. I'm using one PC/XP Pro as my development environment. Its IIS has one default web site, of course, which is the site I'm working on.

I cant get an email out using System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(msg) If I enter a SmtpMail.SmtpServer, then I get the error, "The server rejected the sender address. Invalid Address" If I dont enter one, I don't get a .NET error, but my mail ends up in the mailroot\Drop folder with a "DNS Failure". Also, should the SmtpServer name be the DNS (ie., mycomputer.def.com) or just the name of the computer/SMTP (ie., mycomputer)?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
