I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I donâ€™t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. I was searching regarding mail servers and landed here. Although this is an old blog this content is very informative now also. Thanks for the post.

It turned out the Virus Scan software blocked requests to port 25.

I had a bit of a problem suddenly with sending emails on my local XP machine – and even with telnet localhost 25.

I have not been able so far to determine what I have changed in my Windows settings, but I could resolve the issue by changing the port number for the SMTP server. The default port of 25 is protected by Windows; when I changed it to 8765

(in the file JAMES_HOME\sar-inf\config.xml:

8765

)

and added the line:
props.setProperty(“mail.smtp.port”, “8765″);
to my Java Class, I was back in business.
