Thanks Norman.
If you don't mind another request, please send me your test config.xml so I
can compare to mine.
I'm now wondering if my DNS records are causing the issue.
Thanks for helping me out.

Just to come back to you...
I tried it and everything works as aspected.

Thanks for the idea Norman.
I'll try that if there's no other option.
I would really rather not route my outgoing james emails through the
mail
server on my ISP two provinces away in Victoria.
Regarding your PS note, I agree that changing the SMTP port should not
affect POP3 services. For my james server that is exactly what is
happening
however. Do you have access to a james 2.3.2 server that you could try
to
replicate the error I am experiencing ? If I knew this was a known bug
and
would be fixed in the near future, I can work around the problem.
Thanks
Gerry

Hi Gerry,
the problem is if you want to run a "public" smtpserver you need to
use port 25 for smtp. Usually ISPs only block outgoing port 25, so if
this is the case you need to specify the ISPS Mail gateway in
RemoteDelivery.

Norman
Ps: And yes changing smtp port has nothing todo with pop3
2010/6/1 Gerry Matte <gerry.ma...@shaw.ca>:
Hello.
A short while ago, I installed James 2.3.2 on a Windows 2003 Server.
The server is physically located two provinces away from my home and
is
not part of my ISP's subnet.
Configuration was minimal - I deliberately chose to make the least
possible change to the default config.xml file in order to ensure
everything
was working satisfactorily.
The james server is supporting multiple domains but very few users.
While testing the mail server from my shaw ISP in Victoria, I
discovered
that I was not able to send emails with my Windows Live email client -
the
error was 10061 which I quickly learned meant that my ISP was blocking
connections to port 25 on any mail server other than the shaw mail
servers.
Their recommendation was to use an SMTP port other than 25 for
sending
email.
So, I modified my config.xml (line 858 in the default file) to specify
port 587 instead of 25. I opened port 587 on my server's router and
verified that Windows Firewall was not running. I then restarted the
mail
service and all seemed to be well (connections were made without
error).
However I soon discovered that emails sent to my james server were
being
delayed indefinitely - the error code in the "Message delayed" bounce
back
email from mailer-dae...@shaw.ca is:
Delivery to the following recipients has been delayed.
<info at gerrymatte.com>
The reason for the problem:
4.4.0 - Other network problem '[Errno 61] Connection refused'
When I changed the SMTP port back to port 25, my test emails were
delivered within a short time period.
I then re-tested by changing the SMTP port to 2525 (in case someone
was
blocking 587), opened that port on the router, and bounced the james
server.
The same results - POP3 incoming email was no longer accepted and the
error
was again Error 61 Connection refused. Restoring the SMTP port to
port 25
causes emails to again be delivered.
I have configured james to require SMTP Authorisation (with
authRequired=announce and also with true) neither setting seems to
have an
effect on the "Connection Refused" error.
I am now wondering if I have to take action to specifically authorise
my
shaw email server using either "authorizedAddresses" or
"RemoteAddrNotInNetwork matcher in the transport processor". However,
using
either of these would only enable incoming emails from the shaw
network ....
which is only a small portion of my email traffic.
In simple terms, I should be able to reconfigure my SMTP port with no
effect on my POP3 server (IMHO).
Can anyone suggest an approach to resolving this ?
