How to to find the server name for HELO for sending mail?

karthikr44

I tried to send a mail from mainframes using following JCL

//MAIL JOB (040T,1531),'SEND MAIL',CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=X,
// NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//STEP10 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=DEV2.RK.TEST(SMAIL),DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(A,SMTP)
//SYSIN DD DUMMY

TEXT FILE:
HELO XXXXXX
MAIL FROM:<KARTHIKEYAN.RAJARAM@COGNIZANT.COM>
RCPT TO:<KARTHIKEYAN.RAJARAM@COGNIZANT.COM>
DATA
TO: KARTHIKEYAN.RAJARAM@COGNIZANT.COM
SUBJECT: TEST MAIL
HI , THIS IS TEST MAIL

Here how to to find the server name for HELO.

I have no access to view SYS1.PARMLIB and also
entering command NODE in SDSF.

Is there any other way to find out?

HI Ped,

I got the SYSNODE from REXX.

When i run JCL it throws Maxcc=0 and after 2 seconds it throws

10.36.53 JOB56016 $HASP546 MAIL (JOB56016 FROM SYVT ) SYSTEM OUTPUT RECEIVED AT HDRN CN(INTERNAL)
***

But mail was was not received.

My JCL:

//MAIL JOB (040T,1531),'SEND MAIL',CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=X,
// NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//STEP10 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=DEV2.RK.TEST(SMAIL),DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(A,SMTP)
//SYSIN DD DUMMY

My TEST FILE:

HELO SYSC
MAIL FROM:<KARTHIKEYAN.RAJARAM@COGNIZANT.COM>
RCPT TO:<KARTHIKEYAN.RAJARAM@COGNIZANT.COM>
DATA
TO: KARTHIKEYAN.RAJARAM@COGNIZANT.COM
SUBJECT: TEST MAIL

Possibilities I see include:

1. Have you checked with your system folks on SYSOUT=(A,SMTP)? We use SYSOUT=(9,SMTP) where JES class 9 is held for external writer processing (SMTP).

2. Is there a spam filter on your system that could be filtering out your message?

3. Some mail systems won't deliver mail unless the sender is valid. HELO SYSC.<domain> is required for such systems so the reverse look up can find the sender.

Additionally, checking your email I don't see the trailing period that is required by SMTP. If it's not there, try sending again with a period on a line by itself.

No, you need a line with JUST a period on it. From RFC 2821:
