Re: using James to queue outgoing mail and forward to another smtp server

[Glen]

One good turn deserves another...  Having taken Noel's suggestions there 
are these lines in the vanilla config.xml that you need to uncomment the 
<gateway> and <gatewayPort> entries and put in the correct entries for 
your ISP.  Of course if you have drastically modfied your setup from teh 
vanilla configs you will know how to appropriately apply this ;-)

        <!-- Attempt remote delivery using the specified repository for 
the spool, -->
        <!-- using delay time to retry delivery and the maximum number 
of retries -->
        <mailet match="All" class="RemoteDelivery">
           <outgoing> file://var/mail/outgoing/ </outgoing>
           <!-- alternative database repository example below -->
. . .
           <!-- 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. -->
           <!--
           <gateway> otherserver.mydomain.com </gateway>
           <gatewayPort>25</gatewayPort>
           -->
        </mailet>

     </processor>

Hello James User List,
I am managing 300 kiosks that has quite a robust notification system 
that uses email.  The only hole in it is their must be a good 
internet connection to the central smtp server for the "robust" 
emails to go out.
What I want to do is setup james on each of these kiosks to act as a 
local smtp server forwarding all mail to the "central" smtp server.  
This way it will queue when the network is down.
I have looked into the docs and played with an installation but 
cannot find where to start.  Can someone push/nudge me in the right 
direction?

regards,
Glen
PS I also want to make sure that outgoing smtp services are "locked" 
down so the kiosks down become spam distribution points ;-)     
Please share ideas on how best to do this as well...

Don't kow why it took the parent message to inspire this in me, but 
places like RoadRunner block my James server because its coming from 
my DSL line.  Can I configure James to act as a local SMTP gateway but 
deliver everythign through my DSL provider's SMTP server (the one I'd 
normally point to in my mail client if I weren't a geek runnign my own 
Java mail server)?

Regards,
Brian.
