     sff doesn't work, at least 'as is'.  Though to be fair the system with PMDF had TCPIP SMTP configured on it in the past so the send queue for it exists (but is down).  SFF ends with an error when it tries to actually send the job to the queue TCPIP Services SMTP queue.  

     What I'd like to find out, preferably short of installing the PMDF hobbyist kit on a test box here, is if there's a corresponding way to submit the built mail file direct to PMDF to send.  I've been reviewing the online docs but so far don't see a way.  The straight send command will add header and other info to the file so presumably can't be used with a file all built and ready to go by the MIME utility.

Thanks
