Hi All,

I am trying to email using IEBGENER and it is working fine, the only problem
is the person in CC is not receving email.

Any pointers to resolve this ?

//STEP03 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(A,SMTP)
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=ABC.XYZ,DISP=SHR

ABC.XYZ -->

HELO SYSA
MAIL FROM:<XYZ@XYZ.COM>
RCPT TO: <XYZ@XYZ.COM>
DATA
FROM: <XYZ@XYZ.COM>
TO: <XYZ@XYZ.COM>
CC: <ABC@XYZ.COM>

Read RFC 2821 to find out the details of what you can -- and cannot -- do in SMTP. Specifically, if you want someone to receive the email, you MUST include them in the RCPT TO: addresses. Anything after the DATA is considered part of the email itself, so merely putting CC: like you did means the email client may interpret that as indicating a CC was done, but without the RCPT TO: there was no copy sent to that person. This is listed in Appendix B.1 on page 70 of the RFC.
