Sending and receiving e-mail

Your system is a mail server and has e-mail users (SNADS, POP, or Lotus® users) enrolled on it. Your e-mail users can send, receive, and read e-mail using either a POP client or a SNADS client depending on the directory type. All enrolled users can send email using a command or API, or through the use of an e-mail client.

Your users can use the Send MIME Mail (QtmmSendMail) API or the Create and Send MIME Email (QtmsCreateSendEmail) API to send e-mail from an IBM® i program. By using the QtmsCreateSendEmail API, the users can sign and encrypt the MIME document using secure/MIME, which is a secure version of the MIME protocol. The QtmsCreateSendEmail API is the preferred way to send e-mail programmatically.

In addition, your users can send and receive e-mail in the following different ways.
