Apache Wiki: JamesQuickstart
I don't think James has a very detailed quickstart guide, so I started
to put together one (if we already have one I wasn't aware, then so much
for my lunch break).
<http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?JamesQuickstart>
If anybody has the time/interest to help complete this, catch my typos
and huge gaps, that'd be great! Like Noel said, I think James is one of
the easiest mail servers to start, but this can hopefully help.
When this is a bit more complete and certain, we can link it from the
home page and eventually turn this into an xdoc to include with the
distribution.

Also just to clarify/differentiate, Claude's article on IBM really is
great to introduce Java developers to James, while I'm hoping this
quickstart guide will do the same for systems people. I wanted to
mention this since you can see bits in the guide were borrowed from his
article.
I expect this guide would avoid any discussion of mailets or the
development capabilities in James and just focus on how this could give
you a mail server very easily.

...that and if you have a forwarding MX configuration the 'world' often
sees the forwarder(s) as the MX and the forwarders see the internal
mailserver as the MX for the *same* domain.

Doh! Can't we fix this in our build script so these are executable?

Ok, I can tell them to check that locally this resolution matches.
Usually the problem seemed to be the outside world not having problems,
but I would like to catch as many of these as possible.
I guess if you have NAT-issues you could have problems because that
external result won't match your local IP address.

We need to add a file set with an explicit mode attribute. Feel free to
submit a patch to build.xml.
See: http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/tar.html

for starters, i would suggest a '2b' for *IX users:
/*
2. Extra the gz or zip file to a local directory.
2b. (IX users) Make run.sh and phoenix.sh executable (`chmod +x ruh.sh
phoneix.sh`)
3. Start bin/run.sh (unix) or bin\run.bat (windows) You will see
something like the following:
*/
also -- this may be kind of beyond 'quick starting' --, but for those
users trying to setup forwarding MXs, etc. you may want to expand #7 to
include MX record evaluation from a 'local' perspective. for example, on
an *IX box `host -t mx foo.bar` (`nslookup -q=mx foo.bar` on NT) will
list all the MXs for the domain in question *as seen by that box*. it
may sound esoteric, but i have seen a number of problems float by the
list because of DNS assumptions (it is not uncommon for a mailserver to
be have multiple identities).

Thanks! That helped me out a lot. Just getting started with James. Fine
piece of work.
