I'm using 1.2.1rc2. I installed it again from scratch and
did this:
1) chmod 755 run.sh; ./run.sh
2) in another shell, make the following changes to JAMES.conf.xml:
==> <postmaster>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</postmaster>
==> <servernames autodetect="FALSE">
==> <servername>lafeuillederable.ca</servername>
</servernames>
<remoteManager>
<port>4555</port>
...
<administrator_accounts>
==> <account login="root" password="mypassword"/>
</administrator_accounts>
<connectiontimeout> 60000 </connectiontimeout>
</remoteManager>
<dnsServer>
<servers>
==> <server>66.38.159.36</server>
==> <server>66.38.159.37</server>
</servers>
<authoritative>false</authoritative>
</dnsServer>
3) Hit "Enter" in the first window. I see:
2001.10.17 03:11:26 474 Channel default opened
4) Telnet in on 4555, add the user "testuser"
5) Send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from a separate machine
6) I can see from the logs that this was delivered to "spam" for
some reason. I can see these two files in the /var/mail/spam
directory.
7) I hit Ctrl-C and restart. James no longer is responding on
port 25 and 4555.
8) I hit Ctrl-C again and delete these two files in spam.
9) Restart, but still no response
10) Also tried setting helloName:
<helloName autodetect="FALSE">edtn007849.hs.telusplanet.net</helloName>
11) Also tried setting James up, then killing it without sending
any email or logging in to port 4555. This also causes it to hang.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] does exist.... That telusplanet.net
address is my MX record, and a reverse lookup can be done on that
IP address. I don't know what else to try. Thanks for
your help,
-Mike
