Incoming mails for different host

[Gautam Borah <ga...@picorp.com>]

Hi,

I have a requirement where our mail server could receive mails for 
different hosts(e.g. abc.mydomain.org, xyz.mydomain.org, 
pqr.mydomain.org ), one way to achieve this is adding <servername> 
element in <servernames> tag. But if we have a large host name list(may 
be in thousands) then maintaining all the hosts in config.xml may be a 
problem. I was looking at possibilities for  wildcards like 
*.mydomain.org. It is possible to provide wildcards for <servername>. 
Any other suggestions from the group would be most welcome.

Thanks and regards,
Gautam

Re: Incoming mails for different host

[Gautam Borah <ga...@picorp.com>]

Hi,

This a continuation of my problem that I have mentioned in the mail below.

When I send a mail to a host which is not configured on my james server 
I get a reply back as,

Message from  yahoo.com.
Unable to deliver message to the following address(es).

<inbox@some-name.mydomain.org <http://us.f603.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?To=inbox@morbid.pinet.org&YY=26036&order=down&sort=date&pos=0&view=a&head=b>>:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 550 - Requested action not taken: relaying denied
Giving up on xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.


This is a expected behaviour as I have not configured this 
some-name.mydomain.org in my configured.xml.
I have gone thorugh my config.xml file and found the above error message

550 - Requested action not taken: relaying denied

in my config.xml which is commented.
<!--
     <mailet match="RemoteAddrNotInNetwork=127.0.0.1, mail.picorp.com, 
164.164.12.114, morbid.pinet.org" class="ToProcessor">
            <processor> relay-denied </processor>
            <notice>550 - Requested action not taken: relaying 
denied</notice>
     </mailet>
-->
Could I trap this mail in a mailet ? How do I trap mails which are not 
for the local host domain (like some-name.mydomain.org). In the 
config.xml, there is a comment that says,

<!-- These servernames are used for both matcher/mailet processing and 
SMTP auth -->

does that mean all my incoming mails to my james server should have the 
host specified in the <servername> element for proceeding to my custom 
mailet ? Could anyone point me to the design documents of James, as how 
incoming mails are processed in different processors, or their order of 
processing.

Help from the group would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Gautam

adding a user

[Gautam Borah <ga...@picorp.com>]

Hi all,

I was looking at the possibility to add users programatically without 
using the RemoteManager(telnet to the server). Could I add a user to the 
mail server from inside a mailet. I would probably add a admin user to 
whom I could send a mail for adding a user and that mail I could trap 
using a custom matcher and forward it to the mailet for processing. In 
my custom mailet I could add a user to the mail server. I understand it 
is not a standard approach. But does james exposes some add user 
interfaces for adding a user dynamically.

Thanks,
Gautam

remote java admin client for James

[Gautam Borah <ga...@picorp.com>]

Hi,

I am running james and it is working fine for me.  For adding a user to 
the mail server I am using telnet to connect to the server and then 
adding users. Is there a way in James such that I could add a user 
programatically, say using java program. Is there a remote admin java 
client for james that works over the network ?
Any pointer from the group would be appreciated.

Thanks anf regards,
Gautam

Doesn't exist.  Will probably be addressed in some fashion in a later
version of JAMES.
