First steps... For mail to routed to James (or any other mail server), the MX records for a domain must point to the hostnames(s) of the mail server. If it is smithstone.co.uk is your target, the MX records for that domain are... ; <<>> DiG 9.1.3 <<>> smithstone.co.uk MX ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 9055 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 2 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;smithstone.co.uk.

I know nothing about them, but I would guess they either: - Store your email in a POP3 account for you to access via an email client? In this case you would need to use the fetchmail component of James to inject mail? - Forward it to a specific address? In this case you need to configure 'smithstone.co.uk' as a hosted domain within config.xml. In addition, it would be good to now exactly what version of James you are running. "latest release" means different things to different people. -- Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
