<p>In some simple tests of mail relays James
appears to be an open relay, properly configured it is not. </p>
<p>Because James is an email
application platform it currently accepts all mail delivered to it via SMTP for
processing. Only after the mail has been recieved does this processing begin.</p>
<p>This means that James accepts
Spam. However the default configuration, and any sensible re-configuration has a
number of anti-spam measures which will prevent the re-transmisson of spam from James.
This makes it a blackhole for spam.<br />Danny Angus</p>

machine that is running James. Note that it is illegal for MX records to point to IP
addresses. You need to point MX records to a valid CNAME or A name entry, and then
map that eventually to an IP address.</li>

people will think it's a very strange email address, but hello@[192.168.0.1] is a
valid email address. Note that you need to wrap the IP address in brackets.</li>
