Using an SMTP Relay server

[Jerry M <te...@malcolms.com>]

I am setting up an installation of JAMES on a GoDaddy dedicated leased 
server.  I have just discovered that GoDaddy blocks outbound port 25.  
On their help page, they say I have to send all outbound mail to their 
relay server so they can "count" my outbound mail messages and limit 
me.  (My customer picked GoDaddy... not my choice.  I'll withhold 
editorial comments on my opinion of that decision...)

Now I'm stuck.  Apparently, I have to configure James to now send 
everything to the GoDaddy relay server instead of talking directly to 
whatever destination server the mail is targeted for.

First of all, is this possible?  If so, how do I configure it?  If not, 
suggestions?  Is the only option to move the server off of GoDaddy?

Thanks.

Jerry

I knew GoDaddy blocked port 25 on their shared web hosting, but on a 
dedicated leased server?  That is pathetic.  There is provision for setting 
a gateway to send through in James.

See if you can get your customer to switch here.

Here is the James Config.xml gateway section.
<!-- 
A single mail server to deliver all outgoing messages.  This is useful if 
this server is a backup or failover machine, or if you want all messages to 
be routed through a particular mail server, regardless of the email 
addresses specified in the message.

The gateway element specifies the gateway SMTP server name.  If your gateway 
mail server is listening on a port other than 25, you can set James to 
connect to it on that port using the gatewayPort element.  Although normally 
multiple addresses are implemented through proper DNS configuration, the 
RemoteDelivery mail does allow specifying multiple gateway elements, each of 
which may also have a port e.g., mygateway:2525 the gatewayPort element is 
used as a default.
-->
    <gateway> other.server.domain.com </gateway>
    <gatewayPort>25</gatewayPort>

<!-- 
If the gateway requires smtp authentication the following directives 
(gatewayusername/gatewayPassword) can be used.
-->
    <gatewayusername>login</gatewayusername>
    <gatewayPassword>pass</gatewayPassword>
