1.3.4 General Overview of Mail Blast Process

A blast email campaign will generally consist of the following steps:

• A new email message template will get created. If personalization is required, the special@KEYWORDS can be used as described in the Mail merge template database substitutionkeywords section.

• If any PC file attachments will be sent, they will need to be copied to an IFS folder on the AS/400.

• Email addresses must be manually or programatically entered into the BLMADR00 file or a copy ofthe file.

• The BLMPROCESS command will be run specifying the email message template, emailname/address file and up to 10 file attachments to send. Each email recipient will receive a copy ofthe selected letter and file attachments. After a recipient is mailed to, the processed flag is set fortheir address and must be reset prior to the next email process. Note: file attachments are notrequired for text-only messages.

1.3.5 First Steps - Creating your first mail merge letter template

Before you can send a Mail Blast/400 email message, you must create a template. The lettertemplate can include plain text as well as special keywords which can automatically substituteinformation such as into each outbound email based on information within the Mail Blast/400 nameand address file.

Steps to create a letter templateSign on to the AS/400 system and add the RJSBLAST library to your library list by using the followingAS/400 command: ADDLIBLE RJSBLAST.

1.) Go to the Mail Blast/400 menu (GO RJSBLAST) and select menu option 5, Edit Email MessageTemplates.

The template entry list screen will be shown.

The message text can currently have up to 500 lines of text, including blank lines.

Use the page keys to page through the email template.

4.) When finished entering text information in the mail merge template, press F12 to save thetemplate.

Congratulations. Your first letter template is now ready to use.

1.3.6 Mail merge template database substitution keywords

Make sure to enter a few name/address records for your first Mail Blast test run.

1.3.8 Setting the Default From Email Address

Before sending email via Mail Blast/400 a default from address must be set. If a mail bounces backduring processing, the default from email address will receive a copy of the bounced back message.

From the Mail Blast/400 menu (GO RJSBLAST), select Option 21, Set Default From Address.

Mail Blast/400 10


Setting Default From Address

Note: This setting can be overridden at run time on the BLMPROCESS command.

1.3.9 Setting the Default SMTP Host Setting

Before sending email via Mail Blast/400 a default SMTP mail server host name must be set. Thisvalue should point to a valid DNS host name or a name created in the AS/400 host table (GOCFGTCP, option 10) that points to a valid IP address where the SMTP server is located.

Note: Do not enter an IP address in this setting. Only use a valid host name.

Mail Blast/40011


Setting Default SMTP Host

Enter the following parameters:

Option*SET

Outbound SMTP mail serverSet to a valid DNS entry or host name pointing to a SMTP mail server. In this example we have anAS/400 host entry named RJS1 which points to an internal SMTP server.

1.3.10 Running Mail Blast processing interactively

This step runs the actual email processing using a selected message template, up to 10 PC fileattachments from the AS/400 IFS and the selected name/address file.

Note: This command will typically be run in batch mode. Multiple copies of BLMPROCESS can besubmitted to allow multiple jobs to be processing the same name/address list at the same time. Evenif multiple jobs are processing the list at the same time, only one email will get sent to each recipient.Running multiple BLMPROCESS jobs can improve performance when sending emails to large lists bybalancing the load between multiple AS/400 jobs.

From the Mail Blast/400 menu (GO RJSBLAST), select Option 10, Run Mail Blast ProcessingInteractively

Mail Blast/400 12


The Mail Blast/400 processing command BLMPROCESS will be prompted.

Mail Blast/400 processing prompt 1 - BLMPROCESS

Mail Blast/40013




Enter the parameters as listed below for this first test run:

Mail Blast Name/Address FileThis is the Name/Address file which will get processed. Default: BLMADR00. A member name must beselected.

Enter *FIRST which will use the first and only name/address file member in the BLMADR00 file.

Mail Blast Template Msg FileThis is the selected message template member which will be processed. A message template membername must be selected.

Enter the mamber name for your message template.

Example: M000000001

From email addressThis is the email address where the email messages are originating from and will bounce back to ifundeliverable. This should be set to a valid system administrator email address in your email system.

Leave *DEFAULT in the parameter so the default from address is used.

SubjectThis is the subject of the email.

If *TEMPLATEDESC is used, the email message template description is used as the email subject

Mail Blast/400 14


line.

SMTP server nameThis is the SMTP server where all outgoing email messages will be forwarded to for delivery. If youuse LOCALHOST for this entry, the local AS/400 SMTP server or Domino Server will be used. A hostname should always be used, not an IP address. A host name can be set up for a SMTP server fromthe following menu: (GO CFGTCP, option 10)

*DEFAULT will use the default SMTP server setting.

Mime content typeTypically the default value of 'text/plain' should be used, however if messages will be formatted asHTML, 'text/html' can be used.

Attachment file 1 - 10These are the IFS attachments which will be sent out with the selected email message templates ifspecified. This is a good way to distribute documents to a number of users at the same time.

If PC document files are stored in AS/400 shared folders, /QDLS must be appended to the file path,so the documents can be found in the appropriate shared folder. If documents are placed in a regularIFS folder, the forward slash must always be appended to the path (/).

IFS File Example: /DOCS/DOC1.PDF refers to a file named DOC1.PDF in the DOCS IFS folder.

QDLS Example: /QDLS/DOCS/DOC1.PDF refers to a file named DOC1.PDF in the DOCS folder inthe QDLS shared folders.

Note: It is not required to send file attachments when mailing. They will only be sent if specified. Eachrecipient receives a copy of the same file attachments if sending files along with the main message.

Zip attachment filesWhen this setting is enabled, all attachment files are zipped before mailing.

Delivery confirmation requestA delivery confirmation request will be sent with each email message. An email will be returned to thesender after the mail is delivered.

Note: This setting may not always work. It's dependent on the recipients email system allowingconfirmation requests to be requested.

Read confirmation requestA read confirmation request will be sent with each email message. An email will be returned to thesender after the mail is read.


High priority requestThis email message will be sent with a high priority flag so it shows up as a high priority messagewhen delivered.
