Cannot receive email in my james server (I can send ok)

[Juan Jose Costello Levien <ju...@yahoo.com.ar>]

Hi,

I have a question for you.
I installed James 2.2 inside a Slackware 10.0 box, it
is running ok, but I cannot receive mail inside my
box.

The James FAQ says that I have 2 options: to put the
mail exchange address inside my DNS (I use DynDNS and
my ISP is Fibertel - fibertel.com.ar), or use a
"strange" mail address like hello@[192.168.0.1], which
I don't like to give to my known mates.

I order to receive mail to my James POP server I
enabled the 110 system port, but that didn't solve the
situation.

I have a doubt: what is the real MX? the one that has
dyndns or fibertel.com.ar (the DNS one or the ISP
one)?

Do you know what can I do?
If you want,I could post here the config.xml file FYI.
But I don't know if it is "polite" to do it...

Thank you very much for your ideas.

Juan

Hi Juan,

We have seen this problem before. Often it is caused by your ISP 
blocking port 25. Try the following:
 From your Linux machine check to see if you can telnet into James.
telnet localhost 25
You should see a message from James. If you do James is working 
correctly. You will need to type
quit
to finish the session.
Now from another computer, windows or Linux, try again but substitute 
your-domain-name for localhost
telnet your-domain-name 25
If you are on a computer that is part of your ISP (Say at a friends who 
is using the same ISP)  this may work. 
Try to ping your domain.
If that doesn't work you need to check that you IP is set correctly with 
your DNS service. 
If all of this works, ask someone not serviced by your ISP to telnet to 
your domain.  You can send us a message here on the newsgroup with your 
IP or Domain name and someone will test that for you.
If that does not work then the answer is, your ISP is blocking port 25.

If it is blocked there are some solutions available.

Good luck,
Clive
