A second look at sending messages from your iSeries via SMTP
I've recently seen a lot of tips on "Sending messages from your iSeries via SMTP." While all of these tips are valid, to me they contain one vital flaw. They all require your iSeries to be running the SMTP server daemon. While this might be OK for some, in most shops today with heavy security requirements, our shop included, running services on servers that are not required for strategic operations is prohibited. i.e.: No FTP or SMTP unless you can prove 110% there is no other way. Here's a better way.Tip

The iSeries and MS Office make good partners
Microsoft may be IBM's arch nemesis, but in most cases iSeries users still need to use PCs and Microsoft software. Fortunately, the i5/OS and Microsoft Office work well together. Interaction between two computers -- like an iSeries system and a PC -- does, however, require a coordination of efforts between the two machines. To help you with that Search400.com has put together a four-piece package about integrating i5/OS and MS Office.Learning Center
