Checking e-mail servers
One of the most common problems with e-mail is that the proper servers are not started. Before using your e-mail servers, you need to verify the status of e-mail servers and make sure that they are all running.
To verify the status of the servers, complete these steps:
- In IBM® Navigator for i, expand .
- Verify that the SMTP server is active. Find Qtsmtp jobs in the Job Name column of the Active Server Jobs list.
- If there are no Qtsmtp jobs listed, start the SMTP servers.
- Verify that the Mail Server Framework server is active. Find Qmsf jobs in the Job Name column of the Active Server Jobs list.
- If there are no Qmsf jobs listed, type
STRMSF
(the Start the Mail Server Framework command) in the character-based interface. - Verify that the POP server is active. Find Qtpop jobs in the Job Name column of the Active Server Jobs list.
- If there are no Qtpop jobs listed, start the POP servers.
- Verify that the SNADS server is active. Find Qsnads jobs in the Job Name column of the Active Server Jobs list.
- If no QSNADS jobs are listed, start SNADS. In the character-based
interface, type
STRSBS QSNADS
.
All your e-mail servers must be started for e-mail to work.
