My mistake. I had only checked RFC 822 and not 1035. But since I don't control the internal network I will have to live with the unfortunate host name choice and modify James so I can use it on my workstation.
Thanks,

On the Exim mail list, there is a recent, long thread on this issue. The problem is that Microsoft allows this non RFC-compliant naming on Exchange servers.

Chuck Simpson wrote on Thursday, July 17, 2003:
My hostname has an underscore character '_' in it
Your hostname is incorrect.
and when I run the first test to check sendmail relaying to James I get the following in the smtpserver log:
Error parsing sender address: \ [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Invalid character at 13
I'm no James expert, but to the best of my knowledge underscores have
never been a legal character in an Internet host name.
I rechecked RFC822 and it does not proscribe underscores in hostnames. Why does James not handle this?
RFC 822 only defines the format of mail messages. It doesn't define the
format of addresses used to identify the recipient or sender. 822 compliant mail *could* be used in internal mail systems that aren't sent using Internet addresses and therefor would not have to conform to Internet address formats.
RFC 952 <http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc952.html> is what specifies the
format of a host name on the Internet:
1. A "name" (Net, Host, Gateway, or Domain name) is a text string up
to
24 characters drawn from the alphabet (A-Z), digits (0-9), minus sign (-), and period (.).
