Serge, You are spot on about not picking up MX records. I have specified out-of-date ip addresses of my ISP's old DNS servers. I would like to add that in the config.xml, particularly in the DNS server setups, you can specify FQDN as opposed as strict IP which helps inmensely.
One curious thing about the RemoteDelivery mailet, particularly the delivery threads, by default we're using 1 thread, can you possibly recommend how many threads you would apply in a typical production environment. I think an FAQ page dedicated towards the setup of James Mail Server for various platforms and databases is in order. It's definitely worth a think about. Thanks again.
