Free DNS service required
Hi I have successfully configured Apache Jmes Server but I can not send mail
using my DNS because my ISP does not have MX record. Could someone tell me
how can I get a free DNS service on the web with MX facility so that I can
send mail using that DNS?
Thanks
Rashed

Hi thanks for your reply. I added my DNS in dnsserver tag of config.xml which
is <server>202.84.33.13</server> and later I tested my DNS (202.84.33.13)
and found SMTP blocked . Now I need a free DNS service that has SMTP enabled
to test my mail server. Is it clear to you now..is there any such service?
Thanks

Either I don't understand your question or it seems you are confused
about DNS/MX records and email in general.
To send mail you have to use any recursive DNS server. The one your
provider assign to you when you connect to the internet are ok for this.
"my ISP does not have MX record" is something I don't understand. Do
they prune every MX record from DNS responses? I don't think so.
JAMES uses DNS server to decide where to deliver mail.
If you want to deliver a mail to @example.com then JAMES looks up the MX
record for the example.com domain, (let's say it is smtp.example.com)
and then connect to smtp.example.com to send the message.
If you instead want to setup JAMES Server to receive mail then you need
your own domain and you have to be able to add an MX record to that domain

Either I don't understand your question or it seems you are confused
about DNS/MX records and email in general.
To send mail you have to use any recursive DNS server. The one your
provider assign to you when you connect to the internet are ok for this.
"my ISP does not have MX record" is something I don't understand. Do
they prune every MX record from DNS responses? I don't think so.
JAMES uses DNS server to decide where to deliver mail.
If you want to deliver a mail to @example.com then JAMES looks up the MX
record for the example.com domain, (let's say it is smtp.example.com)
and then connect to smtp.example.com to send the message.
If you instead want to setup JAMES Server to receive mail then you need
your own domain and you have to be able to add an MX record to that domain
