Error description
Adding an ATSIGN keyword to support mail messages that switch between two code pages. Mail messages generated using code page IBM-273 are not compatible to use the standard at-sign symbol @ in CSSMTP mail commands and headers. CSSMTP mail commands and headers are first converted to an IBM-1047 code page before they are processed. The at-sign symbol @ is in different locations for code pages 1047 and 273.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * All users of the IBM Communications Server for z/OS Version * * 2 Release 1 and 2 IP: CSSMTP * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * New function to support an AtSign parameter option for * * CSSMTP. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * Apply PTF. * **************************************************************** New function to allow CSSMTP to translate non-industry standard "at sign" symbols in a mail message commands or headers to the IBM-1047 code page industry standard "at sign" symbol. This is provided as a migration aid for customers migrating from SMTPD to CSSMTP.
Problem conclusion
CSSMTP has been modified to add an AtSign parameter option. With this new option, you can configure an "at sign" symbol and CSSMTP will internally convert this configured AtSign symbol to the standard IBM-1047 "at sign" symbol in the SMTP commands and header in a mail message. This simplifies migration from SMTPD to CSSMTP for customers that use a code page other than the default IBM-1047 and that have modified mail generation programs to generate mail addresses with an "at sign" character other than the industry standard.
