2.7.4 Cautionary notes on sending email (for a Windows host when not using Outlook)

Note the following when sending email on a Windows host without using Outlook:

Keeping sent items

The mail system linkage function does not retain a local copy of email sent without using Outlook.

Format of recipients in email sending jobs

Recipients of emails sent by email sending jobs must be specified by a standard Internet email address.

How JP1/AJS3 behaves when a domain name is specified incorrectly in an email with multiple recipients

When an email contains a recipient with a domain name (the portion after the @ sign) specified incorrectly, the job enters Ended abnormally status and the email is not sent to the recipients whose addresses are specified correctly. Take care to avoid errors when specifying email recipients.

Timeout periods when sending emails

When sending an email via an email sending job, each of the following steps has its own timeout period:

  • Waiting for a connection to the mail server

  • Waiting for a response from the mail server

  • Waiting for the process (telsmail.exe) to finish

These periods can be set by environment setting parameters in the definition key [{JP1_DEFAULT|logical-host-name}\JP1AOMAGENT\mail_link].

The following table lists the environment setting parameters that define these timeout periods.
