Hi Juan,
We have seen this problem before. Often it is caused by your ISP blocking port 25. Try the following:
From your Linux machine check to see if you can telnet into James.
telnet localhost 25
You should see a message from James. If you do James is working correctly. You will need to type
quit
to finish the session.
Now from another computer, windows or Linux, try again but substitute your-domain-name for localhost
telnet your-domain-name 25
If you are on a computer that is part of your ISP (Say at a friends who is using the same ISP) this may work. Try to ping your domain.
If that doesn't work you need to check that you IP is set correctly with your DNS service. If all of this works, ask someone not serviced by your ISP to telnet to your domain. You can send us a message here on the newsgroup with your IP or Domain name and someone will test that for you.
If that does not work then the answer is, your ISP is blocking port 25.
If it is blocked there are some solutions available.
Good luck, Clive

Hi,
I have a question for you. I installed James 2.2 inside a Slackware 10.0 box, it is running ok, but I cannot receive mail inside my box.
The James FAQ says that I have 2 options: to put the mail exchange address inside my DNS (I use DynDNS and my ISP is Fibertel - fibertel.com.ar), or use a "strange" mail address like [EMAIL PROTECTED], which I don't like to give to my known mates.
I order to receive mail to my James POP server I enabled the 110 system port, but that didn't solve the situation.
I have a doubt: what is the real MX? the one that has dyndns or fibertel.com.ar (the DNS one or the ISP one)?
Do you know what can I do? If you want,I could post here the config.xml file FYI. But I don't know if it is "polite" to do it...
Thank you very much for your ideas.
Juan
