MailAdministrator statement

Use the MailAdministrator statement to specify an e-mail addresses with the format userid@host.domain (mailbox) to which Communications Server SMTP (CSSMTP) delivers error reports. See the information about Terms and concepts in z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide for a description of mail administrator. Error reports are generated by CSSMTP when a problem is detected while processing a spool file from the JES subsystem (see the REPORT statement).

Results:
  • Only the first four MailAdministrator statements are used. If more than four MailAdministrator statements are configured, CSSMTP issues a warning message to the console and log.
  • When configured (see the REPORT statement), a report is sent to each mail administrator for each spool file that contains errors. This report is in the form of one e-mail with multiple recipients.
  • When a MODIFY REFRESH command is issued and the order of the MailAdministrator statements or any of the mail addresses has changed, the configuration is updated.
