[NEWBIE] Configuration info - Problem solved - TOTALLY NOW
Steve, the problem was that outgoing messages were scanned by Norton and
then put in the deadletter table. To solve the problem mainly I followed
the instructions at the following link:
http://james.apache.org/smtp_auth_2_1.html
Then, I had a look at my configuration files, at your mails, at other
mails, then I added the 'My server requires authentication' in Outlook
Express and finally I solved the problem: I'm very happy now :-)
If interested I could write a document (PDF?) with my final
configuration and post it to the mlist; I won't put it yet on my website
as I'm assemblying a server now which will run as web server 24h/days
7days/week. At present http/mail servers are running on my laptop which
I don't want to keep switched on 24h a day (it's my precious, my little
precious :-)).
Thank you for your help, all the best.
Marco
