hi Matt Confusing that we don't duplicate each others problems, but I do agree that 3.4.0 is not usable. It seems to have been released without much testing.
I set it up on a cloud VM with email known to be fully working with exim4 and dovecot running - which of course I stopped first so james can listen on ports 143 and 25. I created a domain in james that actually has A and MX records pointing to the VM and a james user in that domain. I configured maildir storage and commented out the offending mailet as has been proscribed. A test mail from another fully functioning mail server is spooled in the logs, but not seen in the INBOX - just as with the tests I carried out on my home laptop. A test mail in the other direction (ie from James) gets the same treatment - successfully spooled locally, but never received by the remote host. There was other bizarreness that I didn't get on the laptop - although I got james up and running with the run.sh script it would no go with the james command (neither james console nor james start) - errors below . I may look at version 3.3, but I'm finish trying to get 3.4 to do anything. For the record. I've been testing on linux (fedora laptop and debian VM) with java 8. startup error below this (root@badwolf:/opt/james-server-app-3.4.0/bin# echo $JAVA_HOME /opt/jre1.8.0_241) =============================================================================== root@badwolf:/opt/james-server-app-3.4.0/bin# ./james console Running Apache James :: Server :: App... wrapper | --> Wrapper Started as Console wrapper | Launching a JVM... wrapper | JVM exited while loading the application. jvm 1 | wrapper | Unable to start JVM: No such file or directory (2) wrapper | Launching a JVM... wrapper | JVM exited while loading the application. jvm 2 | wrapper | Unable to start JVM: No such file or directory (2) wrapper | Launching a JVM... wrapper | JVM exited while loading the application. jvm 3 | wrapper | Unable to start JVM: No such file or directory (2) wrapper | Launching a JVM... wrapper | JVM exited while loading the application. jvm 4 | wrapper | Unable to start JVM: No such file or directory (2) wrapper | Launching a JVM... wrapper | JVM exited while loading the application. jvm 5 | wrapper | Unable to start JVM: No such file or directory (2) wrapper | There were 5 failed launches in a row, each lasting less than 300 seconds.
