HostName vs DomainName
Hi,
A bit stuck ... i have configured James and have a
couple of problems:
1/ all mail sent seems to originate from
blah@<host>.<domainName> e.g. paul@foo.bar.com. I want
all outgoing mail to be sent like paul@bar.com. Is
there an obvious way of doing this as i don't like the
idea of removing my machine name from the hosts file
or something
2/ I can send mail to email address (from a yahoo mail
account) but have not managed to configure outlook to
connect to pop3 or smtp ... unable to connect to mail
server. I dont think its a firewall issue any ideas?
Any help appriciated
Cheers
Paul

For the first problem I think a possible cause could be that you created
users with their full name like user@foo.bar.com, while it would be enough
just to create a user name, and the domain will be attached depending on the
value in the <servername> element.
As regards the second problem, I've been able to configure james with
Outlook Express but not with Outlook. If you need more advice, let me know,
and I'll write to you my complete configuration.
Hope it will help,
Marco

Are you specifying the port when you telnet? If you monitor the SMTP and
PO3 server logs, when a connection opens, you'll see:
Connection from xxxx (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd)
in the log.

Thanks for the reply
1/ Ahh sounds like i have been looking in the wrong
place .. its probably mailx setting foo.bar.com part
2/ when i telnet in it connects .. but i get a blank
screen (no login prompt) ... then disconnects me
(probably because there has been no login attempt) ...
any more ideas?
Cheers

What do you mean by originate? James doesn't normally originate mail. That
is your mail client's job. James relays mail.

Try using telnet to access the server's POP3 and SMTP ports.
