Hello, I'm running JAMES 2.3.1.
I've recently found that spam is being sent through my server. I know this because there are a great many delivery messages in the JAMES logs for email addresses I haven't sent anything to and I'm the only user of this server. (And in fact, I'm having to use this Hotmail account because my attempt to join the mailing list with my standard email address was rejected by the Apache Foundation's email server with a message about spam score.) I have SMTP authentication enabled. I don't know for sure that the following is the way the spam is being sent; but through various testing tools and by experimenting in telnet looking at the SMTP exchange I have discovered that as I'd expect, if RCPT TO: is set to a normal email address you get an immediate response of "530 5.7.1 Authentication Required", whereas if the RCPT TO: contains an address including a routing instruction that directs the route through my server's IP address (so of the form <recipientname%recipientdom...@[my.server's.ip.address]>) then it's accepted with "250 2.1.5 Recipient <recipientname%recipientdom...@[my.server's.ip.address]> OK" and after the DATA section of the message is delivered the response is "250 Mail queued for delivery". So my question is, is this the expected behavior?
