Here are the DEFNODE and printer definitions:

DEFNODE CSSMTP01,CSSMTP,GROUP=3,ACQUIRE=TIME,RELEASE=NOWORK,
CLASS=AB,OUTLIM=99900,TCPDRIV=CSSMTP,TCPHOST=<hostname>.<yourdomain>,
VPSOPT=6,TCPPRT=<yourdomain>

FADDRES3='CC=<emailaddress>@<yourdomain>',
FADDRES4='SUBJECT=TESTING CSSMTP FIX'
NODE CSSMTP4,CSSMTP01,ALIAS=CSSMTP4,VPS=CSSMTP4,VPSERROR=PASS,

=============================================================================
 
CSSMTP DRIVER IGNORES FILENAME ON OUTPUT STATEMENT USERDATA
 
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Parameters specified on the OUTPUT statement USERDATA parameter are ignored by the CSSMPT print driver.
 
SYMPTOMS:
None of the information on the OUTPUT statement USERDATA parameter is used by the CSSMTP print driver.
 
IMPACT:
The missing USERDATA information causes unexpected results.  For example, if FILENAME=ABC.PDF is specified in order to receive the Spool file data as a PDF attachment, the data will be delivered in the email body instead.
