Hi Al,
Thanks for the response.
I have James installed in a Fedora box and a CentOS EC2 instance, so I'm
aware that James runs in Linux.
An advantage of using Amazon EC2 over "real hosting providers" is that
I can bring up/down servers, and server clusters very rapidly.
This helps me scale very quickly, depending on my business needs.

These folks are really good, experts at Linux and have recently added
Windows to there service offerings.

"Root is everything"
I'm running a Linux VPS from them and have found them to be top notch.
Initial provisioning, reinstalls, reboots, etc. all automated (Linux only
for now, I'm sure they are heading there with their Windows offerings too).
And because they have their own block of IP addresses they are able to
provide ability for you to have an appropriate reverse PTR record for you
mail server. Some ISP's will not accept email from MTA's/MX's that do not
have a matching reverse PTR record.
Java VM runs on Linux too you know, not just Windows.

Subject: Re: James processing mail from Yahoo but not from Gmail
Found what the issue was.
My James installation lives in an Amazon EC2 image. This has the effect
of James assigning itself the wrong dnsdomainname.
I'm working on a solution where I am will be forwarding email from a
Gmail trusted host to my EC2 instances.

I'd use something other than Google to test if my James recieves. Google
takes security to the extreme and I would use them only to verify my
server adhere to their security, not for basic tests (which they would
shurely fail).
Google quickly grey / black lists domains on Dynamic DNS, so if that's you
you may have allready been listed by them and they won't send to you.
Go find some anonymous mailer site somewhere, or try Yahoo and MSN (may
also fail if u'd been listed). Suggest you try quite a couple of options
and if you still not recieving considder it a problem.
Good luck ;)

Rex,
If it isn't getting to your server at all then gmail is just refusing
to send it. Do you not get any kind of MAILER DAEMON mail back in your
gmail inbox?
I meant to ask what kind of domain are you sending to? Google might
not like sending to something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] or some
other dynamic ip dns. Not sure though.
Anyway, it sounds like some sort of domain or gmail security issue if
the mail really isn't making it to your server.

Hi Ian,
Thanks for the response.
1 - My mailet runs when I write to James using from my Yahoo account,
and my
work account. But It does nothing when using my Gmail account. So, I'm
pretty sure my Gmail email never go to the mailet.
2 - I don't create user accounts in James. I just need to process the
email
coming in and put it's data in the DB.
3 - Do I check for the mail logs in : james/apps/james/logs ? There's a
whole mess of logs there. Is there one in particular I should look at?
4 - james/logs doesn't produce any errors or indicate that any email
blocked.
5 - > Also, what kind of domain name are you using to send e-mail?
I don't send any e-mail from James. I only write to James.
thanks,
- Rex

Rex,
Have you checked the mail logs to see if the mail is actually arriving
at your mail server? If your custom mailet does some logging you could
check the mailet log file to see what might be happening.
Also, what kind of domain name are you using to send e-mail?

To all,
I am having problems sending email, from my google account, to my box
that
has James installed.
The strange thing is that when I use my Yahoo account, James receives
my
email and processes it correctly. Everything works fine.
When I said "Processes it correctly" it means: I have James running
with
a
custom mailet. the mailet simply puts email data into a DB table.
For
example, extracting the "from: address" and putting that in a DB. This
works
when I send an email to James using my Yahoo account - but not with a
Gmail
account.
James is installed in CentOS 5.
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Rex
