Re: Apache James : Purely MX record based smtp.
Hello, To set more context I am trying to get this work on : Version : Apache James 3.6.0 Runtime : RHEL 5.7.x openshift v3.11.248 kubernetes v1.11.0+d4cacc0 I have been debugging this a bit further - I moved to Apache James 3.6.0 - When I set the gateway host in the mailetcontainer.xml == smtp.x.x.com. I get the following error in 3.6.0. - in my dnsservice.xml I also enabled the with two upstream dns entry. Then I get this Error: jvm 1| 02-Jul-2021 21:34:09.722 DEBUG [RemoteDelivery-6] org.xbill.DNS.Lookup.lookup:513 - Lookup for smtp.x.x.com./A, cache answer: unknown jvm 1| 02-Jul-2021 21:34:09.728 DEBUG [RemoteDelivery-6] org.xbill.DNS.ExtendedResolver$Resolution.send:68 - Sending smtp.x.x.com./A, id=50467 to resolver 0 (SimpleResolver [/dnsserrverrip:dnsport]), attempt 1 of 3 jvm 1| 02-Jul-2021 21:34:09.729 DEBUG [RemoteDelivery-6] org.xbill.DNS.SimpleResolver.sendAsync:332 - Sending smtp.x.x.com./A, id=50467 to udp/dnsserrverrip:dnsport jvm 1| 02-Jul-2021 21:34:09.771 DEBUG [RemoteDelivery-6] org.xbill.DNS.Cache.addMessage:732 - Caching NXRRSET for smtp.x.x.com./A jvm 1| 02-Jul-2021 21:34:09.771 DEBUG [RemoteDelivery-6] org.xbill.DNS.Lookup.lookup:563 - Queried smtp.x.x.com./A, id=50467: NXRRSET jvm 1| 02-Jul-2021 21:34:09.772 ERROR [RemoteDelivery-6] org.apache.james.dnsservice.library.MXHostAddressIterator.:79 - Couldn't resolve IP address for discovered host smtp.x.x.com. - so in my env if I do, I get $nslookup smtp.x.x.com *** Can't find smtp.x.x.com: No answer I am wondering if there is anything specific we need to set up or do to get this work on kubernetes ?

Re: Apache James : Purely MX record based smtp.
Hello, To be honest I was not expecting it to need anything else besides a MX Record. The java exception on the other hand states the following : jvm 1 | 30-Jun-2021 10:20:30.654 ERROR [RemoteDelivery-2] org.apache.james.dnsservice.library.MXHostAddressIterator.:79 - Couldn't resolve IP address for discovered host smtpxxx..com.

Apache James : Purely MX record based smtp.
Hello, I am a bit unclear based on Apache James 3.5.0 docs whether it is able to connect to smtp service provider purely based on MX Records. I have gone through the mailing list historically . I have set the gateway and gatewayPort to published MX Record. Logs say the following which seem to imply it is still looking for an A Record. jvm 1 | 30-Jun-2021 10:20:30.654 ERROR [RemoteDelivery-2] org.apache.james.dnsservice.library.MXHostAddressIterator.:79 - Couldn't resolve IP address for discovered host smtpxxx..com. In mailet config I set up the gateway: ${env:SMTP_GATEWAY} ${env:SMTP_GATEWAYPORT} ${env:SMTP_WEBSSO_USERNAME} ${env:SMTP_WEBSSO_PASSWORD} In dnsservice.xml I also enabled true Our SMTP service provider is forcing down the MX Record with all A Records being removed. Is there anything else I need to consider to get this to work ? --- This e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
