Hi Jean, 

Thank you for clarifying! In my frenzy to fix the unfixable self-signed 
certificates I started on adding mail.mydomain.com on the domainlist.xml file. 
I did add an MX record for the mail server but I wasn't quite sure whether it 
needs to be specified elsewhere. 

Kind regards, Cordialement, 
Guy

Hello guy

I'm not sure what you mean by "mail server address" ... do you mean where

My understanding so far is that domainlist.xml should contain the domains for 
which the server has users so unless you have users whose email address is 
f...@mail.mywebpage.com it should not contain mail.mywebpage.com

Most likely your users have emails such as b...@mywebpage.com thus 
domainlist.xml should contain mywebpage.com. Then in the DNS of mywebpage.com 
you would have an MX entry saying that the server which handles emails for 
mywebpage.com can be found at mail.mywebpage.com

you might also have an HTTP server serving a webmail at that address but as far 
as I know james would not be aware of that and there is no configuration entry 
for it in james.
