I played around with smtp on a as/400+domino machine and found two obvious bugs, then notified IBM, revieved a ptf, then posted here.
1: telnet (host) 25, then start feeding chars. After about 200-300 chars the smtp-subsystem will die, needing to be restarted.
2: change your replyto-address and fromaddress to an non-existing user/domain then mail to an non-existing user on the 400/domino. This will cause the mail to loop endlessly between the smtp-subsystem and the domino subsystem.
This is good known bug which is not related to AS/400 at all. This causes to die only Lotus Domino 4.6.1. I've tried to kill our Lotus Domino 4.6.4 and it still alive ~80) As for SMTP and Lotus Notes/Domino this is a big problem for it's users because there no any anti-spam protection like in Sendmail. Now we are playing with 5th Lotus Domino and there are all this bugs fixed and anti-spam implemented ~80) Best regards, Paully A. Ahafonau. International Business Alliance (http://www.iba.com.by)
