    IBM believes that the solution for the Idea described is available with the WRKSMTPEMM CL command. Thanks Steve for pointing out your helpful article. If this is not what you were looking for, we would need additional details for the missing function.

    Hi, if I have understood your idea, then I believe this is available today, you will just need to adjust the CHGSMTPA KEEPUNTIL value and restart SMTP, more information on this in the article below:

    If I have missed the point, please add add more details to this idea and we will discuss it further on a future CEAC meeting.

    I hope this helps.
