I am using Windows server 2003 and have made the minimum changes to config.xml to support four userids in three domains. My client is windows 7 live mail which is physically located on a different network two provinces away. When I configure the SMTP port as 587 both incoming and outgoing mail stops after a few days. When I restore the SMTP port back to 25 the POP3 incoming mail starts arriving again although outgoing mail is then blocked by my ISP.

Are you using a port other than 25 for SMTP ?

i dont think its a problem with james 2.3.,  we are using it for over 6
months.. i guess  you need to diagnose a bit more..can you describe your
environment ? also if possible try to keep some sort of monitoring.. i use nagios to monitor our james instances for load, up-time jvm usage etc .. not
sure whether that feasible for you o not although.

I am using James version 2.3.2 and my ISP blocks port 25 as Norman
suggested might happen.
When I change the SMTP port from 25 to 587 (as recommended by my ISP) james
begins to work as expected for both POP3 and SMTP.
However, within a day or two james silently stops listening to both POP3
and SMTP traffic. I can connect using my email client and everything seems
to work but incoming and outgoing emails are never acted upon.
I usually find out when one of my customers complains that my mail server
is not responding.

Restoring the SMTP port to 25 and restarting the james service (on windows)
resolves the problem - although once again I can not send outgoing emails
from my client.

I am awaiting the release of james v3 to upgrade and try again.

 I guess your ISP is blocking outgoing traffic to port 25. Could you
try to see if a simple telnet test work out ?

# telnet gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 25

Subject: Query on James server

Hello
I am going to recommend my client for using James as a mail server. The
requirement is simple, we do not want to use any smtp servers like gmail for sending mail. We want to use some open source like James server. I got a tutorial on James installation and mail sending. I could install and set up
few users in the mail server.
But, the issue that Im facing is that Im not able to send mails to any of
the external email ids. For eg: to [email protected]<mailto:
[email protected]>. I dint find any clear guidance for this. Can
you please help me ?

Regards
