[Building Sakai] Mail Config for Windows

[Zach A. Thomas]

Hi, everyone. I don't venture into Windows world very often, but I'm  
trying to configure a Windows Server 2003 machine with Sakai and I'm  
hitting a snag with inbound email. Whenever a message comes in, I'm  
getting the same error in the James log that is described here  
("reached the end of this processor, and is automatically deleted.  
This may indicate a configuration error"):

http://bugs.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-1449

My issue is a little different because outbound email (e.g.  
notifications) works fine (using MailEnable). But no messages are  
getting in. I do have James running on port 25.

In general, do Windows deployments operate a separate mailer on port  
25 and forward to James on another port? I have done this with  
iptables and postfix, but I have no idea how to do this on Windows. I  
played around with NAT, but the firewall/NAT console wouldn't let me  
edit the entry for port 25 or add a new one.

Thanks in advance to any of you Windows gurus out there. I'm getting  
my comeuppance for all those mean things I said about Microsoft!

cheers,
