Re: Apache James : Purely MX record based smtp.
Hello,
If ou are using a gateway you should configure it directly
mailetcontainer.xml RemoteDelivery mailet.
Otherwize James would attempt to deliver all mails itself to remote domains.
Eg:
outgoing
5000, 10, 23*50
25
0
10
bounces
${env:JAMES_REMOTE_DELIVERY_GATEWAY}
${env:JAMES_REMOTE_DELIVERY_GATEWAY_PORT}
${env:JAMES_REMOTE_DELIVERY_USERNAME}
${env:JAMES_REMOTE_DELIVERY_PASSWORD}
Cheers,
Benoit

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. Seems to me that the RemoteDelivery class is looking for an ip address for smtpxxx..com and treat it as an A Record. Where as all it is the following $host smtpxxx..com smtpxxx..com mail is handled by 10 sinxxx.xxx.com. smtpxxx..com mail is handled by 10 sinyyy.yyy.com. smtpxxx..com mail is handled by 10 frayyy.yyy.com. smtpxxx..com mail is handled by 10 fraxxx.xxx.com. All my usecase is Application running in a container ---> ApacheJames Running in a separated container ( MTA ) --> SMTP gateway (exposed through MX Records) Amlan On 30/06/2021, 16:43, "David Matthews" wrote: hi Amlan Why do you think any SMTP server needs anything other than an MX record?

hi Amlan Why do you think any SMTP server needs anything other than an MX record? OK Some TXT records for dkim, spf and dmarc, but why an A record? I doubt that I properly understand your use case and since James itself does SMTP, I don't follow why you talk about connecting to an smtp provider with your own James instance.

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 ?
