Unable to send WAN-emails

[Roger Mori-Tuesta <ro...@cox.net>]

Dear Subscribers:

I'd would appreciate your advice in the following issue:

I have installed James in a  web server  running Apache Tomcat (Red Hat 
RHES).  This web server is part of  a LAN (It has a private IP), and 
reaches the Internet passing through a  router (Firewall & NAT) facing a 
T1 line. The incomming internet traffic is being forwarded from the router.

The computer server has an static IP as follows:
IP: 192.168.1.133/255.255.255.0, Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1, DNS 
server: 192.168.1.1. (192.168.1.1 = Router IP).

After trying several attempts  James is now working but with several 
limitations.

The DNS configuration ub the config.xml is as follows;
<dnsserver>
      <servers>
          <server>192.168.1.1</server>
          <server>206.222.97.50</server>
          <server>206.191.1.10</server>
      </servers>
      <autodiscover>true</autodiscover>
      <authoritative>false</authoritative>
      <maxcachesize>50000</maxcachesize>
  </dnsserver>

The  206.222.97.50 and 206.191.1.10 are the DNS servers from our current 
T1 Internet Provider.

The LAN users use MS outlook as a client with both POP and SMTP pointing 
to our domain name: www.oasisbaptischurch.org, which is router static 
WAN IP.

These are the outcomes:
1) LAN users can receive emails from the LAN and WAN
2) LAN users can only send email within the LAN.
3) User outside of the LAN cannot send nor receive any email.
4) Any email attachments (word, excel, text file) are being removed.

So, I changed the outlook clients to use an outsider SMTP server, and 
now everything is working.
Yet, the JAMES SMTP server is not working to send emails to Wan email 
addresses.

The firewall allows SMTP,and POP traffic with no restriction.

Please, advice.

Thank you.

Roger.

Have you checked to see if they are able to connect? What happens to the mail?

Sounds strange, is this happening for everyone?
