Hello,
To be honest I was not expecting it to need anything else besides a MX Record.
The java exception on the other hand states the following :
jvm 1 | 30-Jun-2021 10:20:30.654 ERROR [RemoteDelivery-2]
org.apache.james.dnsservice.library.MXHostAddressIterator.<init>:79 - Couldn't
resolve IP address for discovered host smtpxxx.xxxx.com. Seems to me that the
RemoteDelivery class is looking for an ip address for smtpxxx.xxxx.com and
treat it as an A Record. Where as all it is the following
$host smtpxxx.xxxx.com
smtpxxx.xxxx.com mail is handled by 10 sinxxx.xxx.com.
smtpxxx.xxxx.com mail is handled by 10 sinyyy.yyy.com.
smtpxxx.xxxx.com mail is handled by 10 frayyy.yyy.com.
smtpxxx.xxxx.com mail is handled by 10 fraxxx.xxx.com.
All my usecase is
Application running in a container ---> ApacheJames Running in a separated
container ( MTA ) ------> SMTP gateway (exposed through MX Records)

hi Amlan
Why do you think any SMTP server needs anything other than an MX record?
OK Some TXT records for dkim, spf and dmarc, but why an A record?
I doubt that I properly understand your use case and since James itself
does SMTP, I don't follow why you talk about connecting to an smtp provider
with your own James instance.
I'm out of date with James now, but did do a write up with config changes,
as much as for my own future reference as for anyone else. I'm not sure if it
will help you, but it's at

if you care to look.
