The message you get is because james doesnt think that the domain the email is destined for is local, so if it were to accept the email,it would be relaying. And open relaying is bad!
Have you set up servernames in your config.xml? Ie, in the <servernames> block, do you have: <servername>foo.com</servername> Because that's how james determines if an address is local. Without it, james will assume [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a remote address, and will refuse to relay to the 'remote' address.
