list server failing
Hi
I am running a list server on James, (james-2.1a1-2002-09-24) and a number of emails are being rejected from destination servers
with either one of the two following messages -
Remote mail server told me: 504 <Po...@localhost>: Sender address rejected: need fully-qualified address
or
Remote mail server told me: 450 <Darkstar>: Helo command rejected: Host not found
;
nested exception is:
javax.mail.SendFailedException: 450 <Darkstar>: Helo command rejected: Host not found
;
nested exception is:
javax.mail.SendFailedException: 450 <Darkstar>: Helo command rejected: Host not found
Anyone got any ideas? Did I configure my server wrong... The only clue I can make sense of is the reference to Darkstar with is the
computer name for my server. The closest thing I could guess was to turn off the autodetect of the server name in the config.xml
file, so I set it as follows -
<servernames autodetect="FALSE" autodetectIP="TRUE">
<!--<servername>To override autodetected server names uncomment this. </servername> -->
<servername>mydomainname.com</servername>
<servername>localhost</servername>
<!-- IMPORTANT if you are using fetchpop it is important to include the -->
<!-- fetched domains here to prevent looping -->
</servernames>
Appreciate any help offered... Marc Chamberlin

Sounds more like amnesia on the box ? Does the machine know it`s host
name ? Valid MX records ?

Marc,
It appears that you're using postmaster@localhost as your sender
address. That's really not good.
You need to have a resolvable email address as your sender address -
that means you should have something like postmaster@company.com , where
there is an MX record for company.com that points to your server.
That's certainly the cause of the 504.
Not sure if that's also the cause of the 450s - the server name used in
Helo is not the same (and shouldn't need to be complete).
