Hi All,

I want to send the mail to the group email ID.
I am able to send the mail to the individuals using IKJEFT01.
Please suggest what should i change in the below mentioned DATA command for sending the email to the group IDs.
eg. AAA BBBB TEAM

HELO HOST
MAIL FROM:<xxxxxx.yyyyy@zzz.com>
RCPT TO:<yyyyy.xxxxx@zzzz.com>
DATA
FROM:<xxxxxx.yyyyy@zzz.com>
TO:<yyyyy.xxxxx@zzzz.com>
SUBJECT:Test mail
THIS IS A TEST MAIL
.
QUIT

I have tried by mentioning direct Group name like
RCPT TO:<AAA BBBB TEAM>
TO:<AAA BBBB TEAM>

It gives 501 Syntax Error. '@' expected

Please suggest.

The group ID has to be defined to the mail server, so the RCPT TO address becomes <groupname>@<mailserver.domain>. The TO field can contain whatever you want it to have.

Hi Vishal,

We had a similar requirement and we did that by using the Group id
(myprojname@ABC.com) which had all our individual Id's and it worked.

Give it a try.

Thanks for your reply and the issue has resolved.
We need to give them same as an individual.

Initially i was trying the GROUP ID with spaces at the place of period.
I put group id same as individual ID like
AAA.BBBB.TEAM@ZZZZ.com
