Ararat,

Initially, nothing is to be done in config.xml -- see
http://james.apache.org/installation_instructions_2_1.html.

The sequence of installation steps is set forth there.

As a new user, here is how I suggest you proceed:

1) Install (un-zip or un-tar) James into a folder.  The folder name must not
contain spaces if running under Windows.

2) The config.xml you are interested in will then be in s.t. like
"C:\james-2.2.0\apps\james\SAR-INF".

   The above document indicates what needs to be done: you have to read and
edit this file and experiment.

   A certain amount of trial and error is likely, so make sure that you take
a copy of the initial file for future reference and possible regression.

3) To start off with, I found it's a good idea to make sure James will work
just to send and receive mail on "localhost".

   To set up a user account for testing, see
http://james.apache.org/adding_users_2_1.html.  For example:

        telnet localhost 4555

   Then log in as root with default password root (this is only for James
and is controlled by config.xml).

   Then add a user:

        adduser me mypassword

   Use the command help to see a list of other commands.

4) Thereafter, you will want to set up a mail client account for user "my"
with password "mypassword", in order to try to  send and receive mail
to/from [EMAIL PROTECTED] via James.

5) Only after that is successful will you want to work through:

        a) RemoteManager Administrator Account setup (perhaps).
        b) DNS servers definition (you will almost certainly need this)
        c) Managed Domain Names/IP Addresses (you might not need this right away)
        d) Postmaster Address (you will want to set up a James user account early
on).

   Once again, you have to read and edit config.xml, and a certain amount of
trial and error is likely.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!
