Re: Apache James : Purely MX record based smtp.

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I'm out of date with James now, but did do a write up with config changes, as much as for my own future reference as for anyone else.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.
