Allow the same SMTP alias to be used for different domains when SMTP attribute are configured as DIRTYPE(*SMTP)

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

With SMTP attribute (CHGSMTPA) configured as DIRTYPE(*SDD) you could use the same SMTP alias for different domains, e.g

noreply@mycompany.com

noreply@mycompany.eu

noreply@mycompanysubsidiary.com


This could be accomplished by using the WRKNAMSMTP TBLTYPE(*SYSTEM) command an assign email addresses to different user id's.


If SMTP is configured or migrated to the more modern SMTP setup, i.e DIRTYPE(*SMTP), email addresses needs be assigned to user profiles using the ADDUSRSMTP command.

The ADDUSRSMTP will validate the SMTP alias (in this example, noreply) to be unique, instead of validated both the SMTP alias and the domain together.


As this is working with SMTP configured for *SDD but not for *SMTP, I would consider this to be a bug, but IBM consider this to be a feature request.

    IBM does not intend to provide a solution to this Idea at this time, so it is being closed.
    This team has quite a long list of higher priority requirements, so this request is not
    likely to be implemented anytime soon.
