E-Mail Definition Maintenance
Set up a command line in E-Mail Definition Maintenance (36.4.20) for each system you want to access. Then, in User Maintenance (36.3.1), specify an e-mail definition and address for each user. The system uses the address as the sender of e-mail messages.
Be sure that an output device is defined in Printer Setup Maintenance (36.13.2) that has Destination Type set to Email. This is described in
Setting Up Printers. When you select the associated device in the Output field in programs throughout the system, the resulting report is sent to specified e-mail addresses.
Before you implement E-Mail Definition Maintenance (36.4.20), refer to the e-mail application documentation or consult with your e-mail system administrator to determine if the application you are using provides an operating-system command interface. If it does not, various shareware products provide e-mail command-line interfaces.
