to the freeparking mail server which in turns forwards mail to my ISP mail account
im using james 2.1.3
so what i have in mind is that if my james mail server is running then all email to come to my server and if its down go to mail2
so i went to my dns records on freeparking changed my mail.smithstone mx record to point to my static ip and told james to pick up smithstone.co.uk
as for the dns servers for james do i use my ISP dns servers or the ones on the your listed ns3 and ns4

I download and install the latest release of james below is my config
i have a private network with a router which has a nat setup to forward all traffic on port 25 to the 192.168.0.13 machine and then the other machines on the network can access their email via pop3 which is no problem
the dnsserver addresses are the ones of my ISP nildram
now i can send email fine however i can only receive email from an email account from @nildram.co.uk and if i try to send an email from my work email to my home email it says recepit could not be found
Is this a problem with the dns servers in my config file or a problem with my isp blocking traffic on port 25
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...

...which point to mailforward.freeparking.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.
