iMail Application Servers
Like the iMail server, the iMail application server distributes spooled files. The shortcoming with the iMail server that is overcome by the iMail application server is that the iMail application server enables the user to not only designate the recipient of the email, but also the copied recipients, the blind-copied recipients, the subject, and the message body.
To this end an iMail application maintenance program is provided to enable the user to define all of these delivery options within a single iMail application.
Work with iMail Applications
Selecting option 31, Work with iMail Applications, evokes the maintenance program for iMail Applications.

The format of the iMail Application Server is nearly identical to the iMail Server with one notable exception. This server enables you to identify the iMail Application used to process the qualified spooled file. All of the email specifications associated with the iMail Application will be used to route the deliver the spooled file.
