CSSMTP should allow SYSOUT class specification for error reports

When CSSMTP detects an invalid SPPOL file, it can optionally generate a report that describes the error(s). This is accomplished by using the Report statement in the CSSMTP configuration file. Unfortunately, when setting the Report statement to SYSOUT, there is no way to specify the SYSOUT class and CSSMTP uses the SYSOUT class characteristics of the SPOOL file that was used in the attempt to send an email. In most cases, this is generally a “punch” class with an external writer name of CSSMTP or SMTP. CSSMTP should not be using that as a model to generate these error reports—these are SYSOUTs, not something to be “punched” to the internal reader or an external writer. Each shop should have the ability to specify the SYSOUT class so they they can properly control and manage the output that is generated.

    This was addressed via the "SMTPD compatibility enhancements for CSSMTP" for z/OS V2R3 and V2R4 via APAR PH18237.
