Hi Suvega,
I think you have to change your config.xml.
First your Server need to have the name of the mx record, maybe the DNS MX
Record is "mail.myJamesMailserver.com", then:
<servername>mail.myJamesMailserver.com</servername>
In your <transport> processor there should be a remote delivery, to deliver the
outgoing mails to external:
Something like:
<mailet match="All" class="RemoteDelivery">
<outgoing> file://var/mail/outgoing/ </outgoing>
<delayTime> 5 minutes </delayTime>
<delayTime> 10 minutes </delayTime>
<delayTime> 45 minutes </delayTime>
<delayTime> 2 hours </delayTime>
<delayTime> 3 hours </delayTime>
<delayTime> 6 hours </delayTime>
<maxRetries> 25 </maxRetries>
<deliveryThreads> 1 </deliveryThreads>
<sendpartial>false</sendpartial>
<bounceProcessor>bounces</bounceProcessor>
<!--
<gateway> otherserver.mydomain.com </gateway>
<gatewayPort>25</gatewayPort>
-->
<!-- If the gateway requires smtp authentication the following
directives -->
<!-- (gatewayusername/gatewayPassword) can be used. -->
<!--
<gatewayusername>login</gatewayusername>
<gatewayPassword>pass</gatewayPassword>
-->
<!-- Set the HELO/EHLO name to use when connectiong to remote
SMTP-Server -->
<mail.smtp.localhost>mail.myJamesMailserver.com</mail.smtp.localhost>
</mailet>
If you use a SMTP Proxy in your Firewall, then you should insert this as the
gateway (using the numeric IP is ok).
If this SMTP Proxy requires autentication, you could enter this here with
username and password.
If you do not have a SMTP Proxy (or any other Mail Relay, MTA, Mail Server, you
should remove the "gateway".
(Using xml comments <!-- --> as above).
If there is now <gateway> and <gatewayPort>, James will use the DNS server
(could be configered also, or discovered) to find out the Mailserver of the
receiver. E.g. for mails to [email protected], the DNS MX for intarsys.de is
mail.intarsys.de, and James will spool outgoing mails direct to
mail.intarsys.de:25.
He is doing something like "nslookup -type=mx intarsys.de".
So: check your config.xml
Greetings
Bernd

Suvega Srinivasan created JAMES-1658:
----------------------------------------
Summary: Unable to relay out messages to an external email address.
Key: JAMES-1658
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-1658
Project: James Server
Issue Type: Test
Components: James Core
Affects Versions: 2.3.2
Environment: Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard
System Type: x64-based PC
JRE: 1.7.0_75
James Version: james-2.3.2
Reporter: Suvega Srinivasan
Fix For: 2.3.3
I’m trying to setup a mail server for my testing purpose. I’m stuck up with an
issue, my James mail server is unable to send out email. I would like to know
if any other additional device/service is required between the James and
Firewall(MX) in order to relay out email from James to external mail address.
I’m trying to achieve something like below mail flow/setup.
myJamesEmailID --> James-Mail server --> Firewall( & MX) -> external Email
address
What is required: Need to send an email from [email protected] to
[email protected]
(myJamesMailserver.com is my example James mail domain)
I have configured my James server, it is running fine with port 25 and 110, 53
open & accessible. I’m able to receive incoming email ie. from Gmail to
myJamesMailserver works fine. The outgoing mail is generated in local james
server, but unable to send out email from myJamesMailserver.com. Further, I see
James is trying repeatedly to spool/send email out. The firewall doesn't
receive any port:25 traffic from the James server. I believe, James is unable
to throw the traffic to firewall/external.
Would like to know what is required between the james mail server and firewall.
Do I require a mail gateway device or a relay server/device before the
firewall?
