With MAILTOOL v14.00 and up, you now have the ablility to override the functionality of the SNDDST or SNDSMTPEMM IBM commands to use MAILTOOL in the background!

Why is this important?  Microsoft has changed their authentication requirements to use "More Secure Methods" which includes OAuth 2.0.  IBM has stated they will not be updating their email clients to work with this.  This can also be used with other email services such as GMail, GoDaddy, etc.

We've had requests from customers to be able to use MAILTOOL and the authentication processes available without needing to change a line of code.  Well, this new version of MAILTOOL does just that!  

What do you need to use this functionality?

MAILTOOL - https://www.bvstools.com/mailtool

This will require a license key for MAILTOOL.

For Microsoft Office 365:

G4MS - https://www.bvstools.com/g4ms

This will require licenses for G4MS, G4MSMAIL and GETURI

For GMail (Google):

G4G - https://www.bvstools.com/g4g

This will require licenses for G4G, G4GSMAIL and GETURI

For other Email providers that allows User/Password Authentication:

MAILTOOL Plus (built into MAILTOOL but requires separate registration.

Other requirements:

• You will need to have your system use the commands and processing programs in the MAILTOOL library.
• Peform the registration process for each sending (FROM) address with the appropriate command (G4MSREGSVC for Office 365 and G4GREGSVC for GMail).  See the "How To Use" section in this article for more information.

Overriding SNDDST:

Overriding SNDSMTPEMM:

Final Notes and Requirements:

• You need to make sure these changes (the renamed system objects mainly) stay in place after applying PTFS, installing new OS versions, etc.   
• You will need at least MAILTOOL in your library list when making calls to SNDDST or SNDSMTPEMM.  If you  are using G4G or G4MS, you will also need the appropriate library in the library list as well.
• The data area SDCONFIG in the MAILTOOL library should be updated to either include a fully qualified path to a configuration file to use with either G4G or G4MS or the value of *DFT. 

Example config file for G4MS:
