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. RapidVPS - Root is everything https://www.rapidvps.com/?vps=14265 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> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry M" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "James Users List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 9:30 PM Subject: Using an SMTP Relay server 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.
