-------------------------------------

Can you post the bounce message ? I also suggest upgrading to james 2.3.0. I don't think this will fix your issue but 2.3.0 is really more stable.

> My server runs multiple domains. I use the JDBC Virtual Host mailet. Everything normally works fine, but if the user sends email to AOL or other picky domains, the mails bounce, and it complains rDNS is not set correctly. Searching on sites like www.dnsstuff.com I am sure that the reverse DNS is configured properly. It seems that AOL looks at the server name given in the protocol, as opposed to the "from" address, and does a  reverse lookup and compares to that name. But that name is taken from the server name, not the virtual account name, so at best I can get one domain to work if I give the server the same name as that one domain.
> James should be putting the domain name from the users account into the protocol, not the server name, if it truly supports virtual hosting.
