Sending mail to external domains

Hello,

Sending email to a domain defined under James works fine. But how can
I configure James to send emails to other mail servers like gmail?
I am using James 3.0 beta 4?

regards,

If you can send locally to seyoum@mitaa.org, double check the mx record 
for mitaa.org which should point to the public ip address of your james 
server.

Thank you Eric,

Now James is able to send to gmail. But when I send a reply to the James
server from gmail I got the following failure notification.

*Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:*
*
*
*seyoum@mitaa.org*
*The e-mail address you entered couldn't be found. Please check the
recipient's e-mail address and try to resend the message. If the problem
continues, please contact your helpdesk.*
*
*
Why does the server (james) fail to deliver the mail to the user?

That functionality is built-in. If it doesn't work, check the SMTP (port 
25) connectivity between James and the world.
