Work with e-mail signature

Some MMAIL users are asking for their signature be automatically added to their e-mail messages.

This page explains how to do that.


1. How it works
MMAIL-supported signatures are images stored in some http-server box, not necessarily the IBM-i where the MMAIL is running.
The only information that is needed to get and to display that picture as a signature at the bottom of an e-mail body is the URL to this image or a local HTML script making up the signature.
Examples:
  • http://www.company.com/mydir/bjones.jpg
  • /mydir/bjones.html

To implement automated signature addition (to the bottom of e-mail messages) you have to run two MMAIL commands:
  • CRTSGN - This command has four parameters:
    • The e-mail address of an e-mail sender (example: bill_jones@camelot.net)
    • Whether the signature is implemented through an image or through an HTML script
    • If a picture, the URL to the image representing the signature for the e-mail messages sent by that e-mail address (example: http://www.company.com/mydir/bjones.jpg)
    • If an HTML script, the the path of the local HTML stream file for the e-mail messages sent by that e-mail address (example: /mydir/bjones.html) .
  • SETSGN - this command has also two parameters:
    • The e-mail address of an e-mail sender (example: bill_jones@camelot.net)
    • Whether the automated signature option for this sender is to be enabled or disabled.

Note - This approach works for all MMAIL EML... commands based on API QtmmSendMail(Send MIME Mail).

2. Command CRTSGN
                     Create e-mail addr. signature (CRTSGN)

 Type choices, press Enter.

3. Command SETSGN
                          Set signature status (SETSGN)

 Type choices, press Enter.
