RELATED IDEAS

Add SMTP attribute to limit number of outbound emails per minute.

Many 3rd party relay services have limits on the number of inbound emails allowed in a specified time frame from a mail server. We use SendLayer to relay emails from our IBM i server. SendLayer has a 250 email limit per minute. Would be a nice enhancement if CHGSMTPA had an attribute to limit outbound email per minute. For example: CHGSMTPA LMTEMLSND(250 60) would limit outbound emails to 250 per minute.

    IBM does not intend to provide a solution to this Idea at this time, so it is being closed.
    Thank you for taking the time to submit your Idea.
    After careful consideration, we know that we cannot deliver your requested enhancement soon,
    so it is being declined.
    However, your Idea does align with the future strategy of our product and we believe it may have
    future value, so we will add it to an internal list for us to keep in mind for the future.

    IBM will use this Idea as input to planning, but no commitment is made or implied. This Idea will be updated in the future if IBM implements it. IBM will use votes and comments from others in the community to help prioritize this Idea.

    The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a HIGH priority requirement that is important to address. This would help with the integration with SMTP services - and it would also help to prevent the IBM i from becoming a SPAM server.

    Background: The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    To find out how CEAC help to shape the future of IBM i, see CEAC @ ibm.biz/BdYSYj and the article "The Five Hottest IBM i RFEs Of The Quarter" at ibm.biz/BdYSZT
