Howdy!
I've been plugging away trying to get James set up on a project server.
Very impressed by the scope and accomplishments of the project thus far
(and am looking forward to IMAP, too!)
My goal is to be able to have a manageable mail server that provides
access (send and receive) to messages from anywhere, so I was hoping to
use SMTP authentication to allow connections from any physical address.
The problem appears to be that the SMTP AUTH connection fails when
sending messages to external addresses. Messages sent to other James
accounts work just fine.
My smtpserver.log file contains a series of entries like this:
(servernames and ip addresses left in for sake of completeness)
Wed Apr 24 20:59:59 MDT 2002 [INFO ] (smtpserver): Hello Name is:
socrates.dyndns.info
Wed Apr 24 20:59:59 MDT 2002 [DEBUG ] (smtpserver): Max message size
is: 0
Wed Apr 24 20:59:59 MDT 2002 [INFO ] (smtpserver): Connection from

Wed Apr 24 20:59:59 MDT 2002 [ERROR ] (smtpserver): Authentication is
required for mail request
Wed Apr 24 20:59:59 MDT 2002 [INFO ] (smtpserver): Command received:
QUIT
I've tried several mail clients (on MacOSX: Mail.app, GnuMail.app,
Entourage) and all have the same result (except Entourage seemed to
trigger a "connection reset by peer" error message in smtpserver.log)
I have the following smtp settings:
<helloName autodetect="TRUE">myMailServer</helloName>
<connectiontimeout>360000</connectiontimeout>
<authRequired>true</authRequired>
<maxmessagesize>0</maxmessagesize>
The rest of the smtp settings were left commented out.
If I turn off authRequired, it works of course, but is a nasty open
relay. Don't really want to do that.
Any thoughts?
