Hello,
If ou are using a gateway you should configure it directly
mailetcontainer.xml RemoteDelivery mailet.
Otherwize James would attempt to deliver all mails itself to remote domains.
Eg:
<mailet match="All" class="RemoteDelivery">
<outgoingQueue>outgoing</outgoingQueue>
<delayTime>5000, 100000, 23*500000</delayTime>
<maxRetries>25</maxRetries>
<maxDnsProblemRetries>0</maxDnsProblemRetries>
<deliveryThreads>10</deliveryThreads>
<bounceProcessor>bounces</bounceProcessor>
<gateway>${env:JAMES_REMOTE_DELIVERY_GATEWAY}</gateway>
<gatewayPort>${env:JAMES_REMOTE_DELIVERY_GATEWAY_PORT}</gatewayPort>
<gatewayUsername>${env:JAMES_REMOTE_DELIVERY_USERNAME}</gatewayUsername>
<gatewayPassword>${env:JAMES_REMOTE_DELIVERY_PASSWORD}</gatewayPassword>
</mailet>
Cheers,
Benoit
