James unable to connect to gmail
Hello;I have a web app which sends email notifications. During development I successfully sent the notifications by connecting my mail client to gmail mailserver and it worked without a hitch.Now I need to use a local mail server so I installed Apache James and reconfigured my web app to use James as the mail server.On the client side, the message is sent and no errors are reported.
James, however, fails to contact the recipient's mail server to deliver the message (for this example, I was trying to send a message to myaddress@gmail):smtpserver log:19/04/12 20:11:13 INFO smtpserver: Successfully spooled mail Mail1334880673507-0 from notification@myserver.com on 127.0.0.1 for [myaddress@gmail.com]
mailet log:19/04/12 20:10:01 INFO James.Mailet: RemoteDelivery: Attempting delivery of Mail1334801593534-1-to-gmail.com to host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com. at 173.194.73.26 for addresses [myaddress@gmail.com]19/04/12 20:10:22 INFO James.Mailet: RemoteDelivery: Could not connect to SMTP host: 173.194.73.26=2C port: 25 :
James configuration is default except for the DNS server section. What should I be looking at to fix this?Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Hi Eric,
My changes to the DNS were restricted to adding the IP addresses of the my DNS servers. Before that change, James was unable to resolve 'gmail.com'.Trying to locate these changes, I realized what I may have done wrong: I have two machines, each connected through different ISP / Hosting environment. I was testing on my dev machine and it appears the ISP blocks outbound connections on port 25.When you suggested I telnet to the mx server on port 25, I tried it from my dev environment and that works, however, I was trying james on my dev environment.
As for java coding to do what I need with mailets, that is the reason I am interested in them; that I can extend their functionality with some coding.
Thanks,
Aladin

Hi Aladin,
Yes, the mailet system can do much (but be ready to implement a bit of
java code to map your requirement).
You said in your initial mail you changed the DNS Server section.
How does james behave with the default config? It really should be
working out-of-the-box (download the latest beta4 to be sure).
Thx,
Eric

Hi,
Yes, I can. I also installed hMailServer on the same box and it has no issues sending mail to gmail.
I prefer James because I intend to process email replies to the notifications the system sends and I think (no experience here) the mailet model should help me implement the functionality I need.
Thanks,
Aladin
