Use this command to send an email message. Text files, save files and spooled files can be attached to the message.
Note: You configure the connection to your outgoing mail server by setting the appropriate RSF defaults. Use the
Change RSF Defaults (CHGRSFDFT) command to set defaults for the outgoing mail server, port, user ID, password, from address and encryption.
You can use the Change RSF User Options (CHGRSFUO) command to set a different "from address" for individual users.
When encryption is used for your outgoing mail, you must configure SSL on your iSeries machine. See Appendix G
for details on configuring SSL for outgoing mail.
