James is for incoming mail for the Email Archive tool.  The Email Archive
tool allows you to setup instant web-backed listservers.  So I can have a
chem-101-fall2014 at sakai.example.edu.  You would first need to make sure
mail for the domain was routed (DNS MX records) to the correct server.
 Then James would process the incoming mail and add it to the Email Archive
tool in the appropriate course.

This is where you define your outgoing email.  These would be
Announcements, Assignment submissions, Messages, etc.

Do you have a mail server like Sendmail or Postfix running on localhost?
 Do you have a central SMTP server at the institution?  If you have a
central SMTP server, use that address here instead of localhost.

You need to describe your setup in more detail and show log messages that
show mail delivery failure.
