james and outlook send/receive errors

I am having problems with Outlook XP. I ran JAMES with Eudora with no problems at all.

However in Outlook when I send/receive sometimes a progress dialog comes up: Outlook Send/Receive Progress and eventually gives the errors below.

Whats funny is that I can shut down Outlook and start again and it will send the first email ok. but further emails get stuck.

If I wait a few minutes after the errors the emails eventually get sent and recieved

 

I have read through the james-user email archive list extensively but to no avail. 

 

I  have no anti-virus software and no firewall and have installed MS Office XP service pack 1 and 2. Also Windows XP has been updated.

 

 

The errors:

 

Task 'andybryan - Sending and Receiving' reported error (0x8004210A) : 'The operation timed out waiting for a response from the receiving (POP) server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'

 

Task 'andybryan - Sending' reported error (0x8004210B) : 'The operation timed out waiting for a response from the sending (SMTP) server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'

 

Task 'andybryan - Sending' reported error (0x800CCC0B) : 'Unknown Error 0x800CCC0B'

 

 

 

My setup:

 

Windows XP 

dynamic IP address. I go to Zoneedit.com and set up an MX record so that mail.wallstreetmanager.net handles mail for wallstreetmanager.net. Then I setup an A record so that mail.wallstreetmanager.net goes with my IP address (using ipconfig I find this is usually 166.180.5.144 or similiar)

 

Using ipconfig I find my DNS servers:

66.174.3.7

66.174.6.7

 

I installed java j2re1.4.1_02 and did:

set JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.3.1

In enviroment variables I appended path with C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.1_02\bin

 

I installed james2.1.2

modified config.xml as shown below

 

I did telnet localhost 4555

adduser andybryan pass

 

I am using POP and SMTP

In Outlook both POP and SMTP use mail.wallstreetmanager.net

I did not enable auth for SMTP in both outlook and config.xml

 

I set this whole thing up on two separate computers with the same problems.

 

 

Here are my changes to config.xml

 

      <postmaster>Postmaster@localhost</postmaster>

 

      <servernames autodetect="true" autodetectIP="true">

      <servername>localhost</servername>

      <servername>wallstreetmanager.net</servername>

      </servernames>

 

         <mailet match="RemoteAddrNotInNetwork=127.0.0.1,wallstreetmanager.net" class="ToProcessor">

            <processor> spam </processor>

         </mailet>

 

   <dnsserver>

      <servers>

<!-- CONFIRM? -->

        <!--Enter ip address of your DNS server, one IP address per server -->

        <!-- element.  The default configuration assumes a DNS server on the localhost. -->

         <server>127.0.0.1</server>

         <server>66.174.3.7</server>

         <server>66.174.6.7</server>

      </servers>

      <authoritative>false</authoritative>

   </dnsserver>

 

 

<smtpserver enabled="true">

      <!-- port 25 is the well-known/IANA registered port for SMTP -->

      <port>25</port>

 

      <!-- Uncomment this if you want to bind to a specific inetaddress -->

      <!--

      <bind> </bind>

      -->

      <!-- Uncomment this if you want to use TLS (SSL) on this port -->

      <!--

      <useTLS>true</useTLS>

      -->

 

      <handler>

         <!-- This is the name used by the server to identify itself in the SMTP -->

         <!-- protocol.  If autodetect is TRUE, the server will discover its -->

         <!-- own host name and use that in the protocol.  If discovery fails, -->

         <!-- the value of 'localhost' is used.  If autodetect is FALSE, James -->

         <!-- will use the specified value. -->

         <helloName autodetect="true">myMailServer</helloName>

         <connectiontimeout>360000</connectiontimeout>

 

         <!--  Uncomment this if you want to require SMTP authentication. -->

         <!--

            <authRequired>true</authRequired>

            -->

 

         <!--  Uncomment this if you want to verify sender addresses, ensuring that -->

         <!--  the sender address matches the user who has authenticated. -->

         <!--  This prevents a user of your mail server from acting as someone else -->

         <!--

         <verifyIdentity>true</verifyIdentity>

         -->

 

         <!--  This sets the maximum allowed message size (in kilobytes) for this -->

         <!--  SMTP service. If unspecified, the value defaults to 0, which means no limit. -->

         <maxmessagesize>0</maxmessagesize>

      </handler>

   </smtpserver>

 

Any help would be appreciated

Well, what I have experienced, but I didn't investigate further (and I don't
know if I want to do it) is that running Outlook on the same server where
James is running doesn't work, while running it from, let's say, a client,
works fine. As a solution, I adopted Outlook Express on the server where
James is running, and outlook on another machine.

Additionally, I noted that adding an email address on James server when,
let's say, an Hotmail address was already present on Outlook caused some
problems; the solution: I reinstalled Outlook from the scratch, added only
my James email address and it works fine.

Hope it will help,

Marco

One of these days we'll add 0x8004210A to the FAQ.

See: http://www.mail-archive.com/james-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg05549.html

You might ask Marco what he did to correct it, because as far as I know,
Marco no longer has that problem.

This is a fairly generic problem with Outlook.  Why some people have it, and
others don't isn't clear, but it occurs with other mail servers, too, e.g.

  http://msgs.securepoint.com/cgi-bin/get/qmail0304/78.html
  http://www.exim.org/pipermail/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-20020916/043880.html

The "unknown error" means "BUSY"

That appears to be OK, doing

  dig wallstreetmanager.net mx
  dig mail.wallstreetmanager.net

Although attempting to connect to your server fails.

> I installed java j2re1.4.1_02 and did:
> set JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.3.1

You do realize that those don't match?

         <server>127.0.0.1</server>

Do you have a DNS server running locally?

As I suggested to Marco (and as others have suggested to track this with
other mail servers), you could turn on DEBUG for smtpserver, and see where
Outlook is hanging.
