It is definetly using /usr/local/java, so I'm positive its 1.4.1. Setting the 'networkaddress.cache.negative.ttl' to 0 seems to have helped. I just watched James get the unknownhostexception from one MX server, then try a different server 10 minutes later, fail a couple more times, and then fi

I also found some other people with similar problems on the java.sun.com forum, I'm going to try the negative.ttl fix to see if it makes any difference. Unless I'm insane I'm using 1.4.1: [EMAIL PROTECTED] local]# $JAVA_HOME/bin/java -version java version "1.4.1_02" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environme

I have my retry set to 10 minutes with a max retries of 10, which admittedly is probably pretty short. However, I've seen it retry after I've manually tested the network and it will fail until it reaches the max of 10 retries then bounce the message to the user. It never seems to recover once

Here is some output from my James server that will hopefully be helpful. The first bit is the exception when James tries to send to the server, then I ping and telnet to port 25, stop and restart James, and at the end you can see that James is able to send to the aauwms2 server with no problems
