Hi all, James (and mailserver) noob, need a little help getting it running. So far I've followed, to the best of my knowledge, the steps in the James docs installation and configuration guide, as well as everything in the IBM Developer Works article on working with James (http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-james1.html) up to but excluding using Javamail and JAF to test the installation. I'm using it with Vignette Messenger (an email marketing tool), and test emails from Messenger don't make it to the recipient, but I'm not sure how to troubleshoot. First, the list of what I've done to install:
1. Installed JDK 1.4.2_09 (Win Server 2003 Std) 2. Unzipped James 2.3.0, installed service, started it, verified I could telnet and login w/ root/root, killed it, and opened config.xml to modify. 3. Changed admin pwd 4. Explicitly specified DNS server IPs, changed DNS autodiscover to false 5. Confirmed that DNS MX entry for this server had propagated. 6. Disabled NNTP, set threadCount to 0 (tried deleting the whole section as the comments seemed to suggest for less resource use, but James would't start after that) 7. Restarted service, telnetted back in, created two new user accounts, bounce and reply. I pointed Messenger at James with the following config settings: SMTP Hosts: 127.0.0.1 SMTP Interval: 3600 (s) Bounce Hosts: 127.0.0.1 Bounce Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bounce User: bounce Bounce Pwd: ***** Bounce Interval: 60 Reply Handler: 127.0.0.1 Reply Server: my.mail.domain Reply User: reply Reply Pwd: ***** Reply Interval: 60 I'm not sure I'm specifying the email domain correctly or not. One possible clue is that the only error msg I can find in the James logs is from apps\james\logs\james-datetime.log file: 10/01/07 20:35:06 INFO James: JAMES init... 10/01/07 20:35:06 INFO James: Local host is: 106537-MESSENGER 10/01/07 20:35:06 INFO James: Handling mail for: 106537-messenger 10/01/07 20:35:06 WARN James: The specified postmaster address ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) is not a local address. This is not necessarily a problem, but it does mean that emails addressed to the postmaster will be routed to another server. For some configurations this may cause problems. 10/01/07 20:35:06 INFO James: Local users repository opened 10/01/07 20:35:06 INFO James: Private Repository LocalInbox opened 10/01/07 20:35:06 INFO James: JAMES ...init end 106537-MESSENGER is the Windows network name for this server. my.domain.com is the DNS MX entry that I intend to use for my outgoing mail domain. Any suggestions for troubleshooting this?
