All,
I have sort of a complex question about how James resolves host names.
I'm using Apache James as an SMTP server to send mails for a web app.
This web-app is being hosted on Amazon's EC2 platform, the practical
result of which in terms of this email is that it has a bunch of
different domain names, private and public, and I can't figure out why
James is choosing to use the one that it's using. In the header of an
email sent by my instance of Apache James, the "Received" header looks
like this:
Received: from domU-##-##-##-##-##-##.z-1.compute-1.internal
(widgets.myserver.com [127.0.0.1])
by domU-##-##-##-##-##-##.z-1.compute-1.internal
(8.13.7/8.13.7) with ESMTP id l71HwdGZ010791
for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Wed, 1 Aug 2007 13:58:39
-0400
where widgets.myserver.com is the publicly accessible domain name
mapping to the ip of my server, and
domU-##-##-##-##-##-##.z-1.compute-1.internal is the internal host name
in the EC2 cloud. Some of the emails I've sent out are getting caught in
spam filters, and I suspect it might be because those two host names
don't remotely match up. I tried playing around with some settings in
config.xml, setting them to this:
<servernames autodetect="false" autodetectIP="true">
<!-- CONFIRM? -->
<servername>widgets.myserver.com</servername>
</servernames>
But that didn't really do anything. Can anyone give me some insight as
to how that header gets filled out by James, how I might control it, or
anything else I'm missing here?
Thanks,
Pete
