I'm having a difficult time understanding how to set-up and test a basic
James configuration, especially for sending messages.
First, my configuration: 3.0 M3 20110509.105439-346 on Ubuntu (Natty)
64-bit.
Ports 25 and 143 are open (I've decided to go without encryption until I
can get the server functional).
I can receive mail from the Internet on port 25. I can access that mail
remotely using IMAP on port 143. However, I can NOT send mail using
SMTP as my client never connects. SMTP connections from a client on the
server succeed. I believe outgoing connections to port 25 from remote
clients are being blocked at the client ISP - and in an odd way too
because telnet connections to 25 don't fail but rather remain blank.
So ... two questions:
(1) Is there a way to move the basic unencrypted client-server
communication (for sending messages) off port 25 (where it was getting
blocked) while leaving SMTP configured to receive server-server
communication (which is working fine)?
Previously I tried changing the port in smtpserver.xml but it broke my
server-server communication and I couldn't receive mail anymore.
(2) Is the unencrypted setup really any easier to start with?
I am starting to feel like jumping into my start/TLS configuration might
be no more work than the port workarounds that might be necessary to
test the "basic" (unencrypted) server.
Thanks
