Hi, We are trying to build an application using james server to capture the large number of emails we receive to perform an analysis and cut down on the automated processes which send the max number of mails plus do some other tasks as well.
Currently james server is running on my local desktop and I have set a redirect rule in my outlook to redirect all incoming mails to my outlook to james server. The setup of mail ids is as follows: James server mail id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Outlook group mail id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The 1st mail id is a part of the group mail id. (Infact, the group mail id is just a wrapper around the actual james mail id as it contains only that mail id as its member) When I send a mail from my outlook to the james mail id, the mail is captured by james. When I send a mail from my outlook to the group mail id, the mail is captured by james. When I send a mail from a unix box to the james mail id, the mail is captured by james. When I send a mail from a unix box to the group mail id, the mail is not captured by james. That last line is where I have a problem. I don't know why it doesn't reach james. I checked up the code of james and though I am not completely sure, my hunch is james rejects mails from mail ids which it can't verify. Our unix boxes are setup with mail ids which can send mails but cant receive any. Perhaps james tries to verify the mail id from the unix box, and since its not a valid mail id, it rejects that mail. The problem here is why does it work when I send mail from unix to directly the james mail id? I hence basically want james to capture all the emails from any email id, verifiable or not. I have been trying to resolve this for a number of days now but have been unsucessful. Any insights would be tremendously helpful as because of this drawback, we are not able to put this application into production as a redirect rule in outlook is not the best way to automatically send mails to james. Please help and let me know if you need any further inputs ! Thanks, Niraj
