zOS CSSMTP AT-Sign Conversion

In zOS Communication Servers SMTPD Mail Gateway the hexadecimal representation of the AT Sign can be specified with parameter ATSIGN. The same function is needed for the CSSMTP Mail gateway. With the actual codepage conversion not only the mail text itself is converted based on the defined codepage, but the AT Sign also. For the correct translation of the German special characters we have to code parameter "Translate ibm-273" in CSSMTPs configuration, But this implies, that the At Sign must have the hexadecimal value X'B5'. Because of SMTPDs ATSIGN default of X'7C' all procedures creating mails use X'7C' for the AT sign.
