Validating Email Addresses
Question asked by Elbert Cook - 2/10/2015 at 7:56 AM
Answered
At the end of the day, our IBM Iseries (Mini-Mainframe) creates customer invoice document emails and dumps them to SmarterMail to deliver. The emails have a FROM: address that is the customer's account rep's email address.
 
Is there a SmarterMail API, or http web call that I can perform from our Iseries to SmarterMail to validated that the FROM: address is a valid SmarterMail email account? We have issues of staff changes, where SmarterMail accounts are deleted, but not updated in our Iseries. I would like to print an invalid email list at the end of the day.
 
I would prefer not to write a socket program to talk to SmarterMail and perform the validation.
 
Thanks,

Can't you just use LDAP?

I'll take a look at LDAP

With some research, I was able to perform an LDAP connection from our Iseries to our SmarterMail server and retrieve a list of all email addresses.
