Hi Eric,
My changes to the DNS were restricted to adding the IP addresses of the my DNS 
servers.  Before that change, James was unable to resolve 'gmail.com'.Trying to 
locate these changes, I realized what I may have done wrong:  I have two 
machines, each connected through different ISP / Hosting environment.  I was 
testing on my dev machine and it appears the ISP blocks outbound connections on 
port 25.When you suggested I telnet to the mx server on port 25, I tried it 
from my dev environment and that works, however, I was trying james on my dev 
environment.
As for java coding to do what I need with mailets, that is the reason I am 
interested in them; that I can extend their functionality with some coding.
Thanks,
Aladin
