Your choice. If you leave the defaults as they are i.e. leave the 127.0.0.1 and servername as localhost as part of your DNS settings, then you're restricted to sending and receiving mails locally from within the same host where James is installed. If you want to extend it, and make your host recognisable from outside your domain, then you should place the FQDN of your isp's DNS servers so that your ip/domain is recognised on the public domain. You must remember that the setting is not restricted to ip, you can specify the domain names of your isp DNS servers as well which is the de facto behaviour of a DNS as well as ip. Next, if you want someone from outside to send mail to your James mail server, then you need to setup a set of MX records for your host. See www.dyndns.org for more info.
