Yes. > The MTA should take all ingoing SMTP connection and relay to James and > viceversa. > In other words: does James support relaying (in outgoing esp.)? I don't understand this: there is no "outgoing" or "incoming" relaying. Btw, yes, JAMES Server does support relaying: it can accept messages via SMTP protocol and deliver them to another SMTP server. > The insertion of a strong MTA like postfix should solve the security lack of > james > (I just see mr.

If you need SSL for mail submission then you can configure JAMES Server to listen to an SSL encrypted port used only for submission. STARTTLS is not supported by JAMES Server. I think you can use postfix as you describe: I often did this with sendmail and it worked fine. > It could solve the problem until james implements all security mechanisms if > it aims to. > In the meatime the community could take advantage of the flexible James > mailet paradigm. > I'm newby to James and I do not see any explicit relay options. Maybe you want to explain what you mean with "relay": JAMES Server supports relaying as described in rfc2821. If you want incoming mail to be processed by postfix simply bind postfix to port 25 and james server to another port and configure postfix to relay mail to the james server port (maybe using authentication). If you want outgoing mail from james server to be sent to your postfix then configure james RemoteDelivery to use postfix as a gateway. FWIW ougoing mail for JAMES Server should support STARTTLS. I think this can be done by using <mail.smtp.starttls.enable>true</mail.smtp.starttls.enable> in RemoteDelivery configuration. This way everytime a server announces STARTTLS support javamail SHOULD (never tried) try to encrypt the conversation.
