I'll make a bet that your DNS settings in JAMES config.xml are not correct... either nothing is set or the DNS servers you've set aren't responding.
I say this because your message to hotmail.com is attempting to deliver to the host 'hotmail.com'. JAMES does a lookup for MX records, and it should be finding the following for hotmail... mx07.hotmail.com mx08.hotmail.com ... mx12.hotmail.com The fact that JAMES is trying to connect to a host Hotmail.com means it could not find any MX records and is falling back to just sending to an A/CNAME record (which is just the hostname). So double check your DNS entries are correct. I'm trying to think if there's a good way to test and report to the console that DNS servers aren't setup right, but I'm not sure of the best way. -- Serge Knystautas Loki Technologies - Unstoppable Websites http://www.lokitech.com/ Samuel Sadek wrote: > Serge, > > Thanks for your invaluable comments.
