Remote Delivery problem when mailing external users
First of all, I would like to say thanks to the developers for this wonderful piece of software and for the great support they are offering through this mailing list.
I am a JAMES 2.2.0 user since yesterday but I have been working at it a lot. I configured a test account and sent mail to myself and it works. I want to try to send mails to other id's as well and this is where I face problems.
This is a snippet from my mailet log.
15/06/06 20:30:33 INFO James.Mailet: RemoteDelivery: Could not connect to SMTP host: 157.227.246.120, port: 25, response: -1
15/06/06 20:30:33 INFO James.Mailet: RemoteDelivery: Temporary exception delivering mail (Mail1150382429871-0-to-tcs.com: javax.mail.MessagingException: No mail server(s) available at this time.
at org.apache.james.transport.mailets.RemoteDelivery.deliver(RemoteDelivery.java:617)
at org.apache.james.transport.mailets.RemoteDelivery.run(RemoteDelivery.java:912)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:534)
I have enabled autoDNS discovery and it is discovering correctly. I dont know what the problem is. To certain domains if i send mail, it says in my log,
javax.mail.MessagingException: There are no DNS entries for the hostname yahoo.com. I cannot determine where to send this message.
at org.apache.james.transport.mailets.RemoteDelivery.deliver(RemoteDelivery.java:398)
at org.apache.james.transport.mailets.RemoteDelivery.run(RemoteDelivery.java:912)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:534)
Finally, it stores all these mails in my outgoing folder. I am using file repository.
I was playing around with the config.xml file. Once, I set the repository path wrongly as dbfile://var/mail/something .. It just generated so many NullPointerExceptions that the log files took up 500 MB of space and I had to kill the JVM.
I am running james on win2k, if that means anything.
Thanks.

Read the autodiscovered DNS IPs from the logs.
execute cmd
# nslookup
> server <dns server ip you found in the log>
> domain.com
Look for lines containing "MX preference" or "mail exchanger".
You should see at least one of them.. if not then you have system
problems (dns/windows).
