SMTP not sending
Hi there,
I've looked though the formum but havn't come across anything that answers
my problme, which is rather simply probably. I had my JAMES server running
and it was sending the messages from Outlook but it currently is no longer
sending my emails? Outlook seems to think that the messages are being sent
because all is fine and no error messages are returned from Outlook. Is
there anyway to check JAMES on email traffic. I've tried looking through the
documentation but all that is on the page is configuration settings which I
duly entered to no avail. The Wiki unfortunately was unhelpful and I can't
seem to find any Users Manual other than this
http://james.apache.org/server/2.3.0/index.html one. I'm new to these
advanced topics so any information on either fixing this problem or where I
can gain greater insight into server topics would be greatly
apprecitated(Google doesn't count, I'm looking for links that you have read
and found useful)

Nothing seems to be happening when the screen shows so I take it that there
is a network error. How would they block the port and is there any other
port that I could use to bypass this.

Some ISPs block any connection to port 25 except the connections to
their mailserver. You should ask your ISP if they provide some relay you
can use to send mail ..

Try this command:
"telnet mx.wm.co.za. 25"
if you can't see
----
Trying 196.25.211.166...
Connected to mx.wm.co.za..
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.webmail.co.za ESMTP Welcome to the Webmail.co.za SMTP Server.
quit
221 mail.webmail.co.za Goodbye.
Connection closed by foreign host.
------
then you have a network problem: either you have a firewall blocking
that connection or your provider blocks port 25 (it happens).
Stefano
PS: it's not a DNS problem because the IP has been resolved as you can
see in the logs (196.25.211.166).

James put a lot of logs about what's going on in the
<jamesfolder>apps/james/logs folder. About the outgoing spool
managemenet you should find useful logs in the mailet-*.log
(RemoteDelivery mailet) or in the default*.log.
You can increase the logging altering the
apps/james/SAR-INF/environment.xml replacing log-level="INFO" with
log-level="DEBUG" in the components you want to trace.
