hi Matt Some clarification:-
I've not got past setting up an experimental James based setup on localhost ie my home linux laptop. I did have it running about a month ago and it looked fine, except that test mails were spooled (according to the logs) yet never delivered. I had James configured (correctly I think!) to use maildir, so this was presumably not a database issue. As with Ahmet, I saw no evidence of errors in the logs and since no one replied to initial help requests I gave up. I think I can rule out general non-James related email/firewall issues as I'm experienced as a sys admin and have run my own email server (dovecot and exim based) for nearly 10 years. I have a couple of cloud VMs, so once I get James going again at home I can possibly test it on one of them with a non-critical domain. The dovecot/exim set up I use for real works fine so I'm not really looking to replace it as I have a lot of experience with both of those beasts. Main motivation is that I maintain a java based webmail client and I'd be interested in being able to document use cases besides my own. This webmail client (I run it in tomcat) incidentally had no issues with the imap side of James - I could authenticate, create maildir mailboxes and store and read test emails to myself in the outbox folder; these tests just never reached the inbox. The problem definitely wasn't an issue with the webmail as I did a test talking SMTP on port 25 and again, mail was spooled but never reached the inbox. I'll try and post more later this week and meanwhile, thank you for taking an interest. -- David Matthews [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
