Here's a checklist of settings to get a minimum configuration:

Mailer Name
Mailer Email
SMTP Server
SMTP Port (Default is 25)
Account
Password

Also, go the Libraries tab and select the libraries for which you would like notification to be enabled.

Hope this helps.

Notification and MP Inboxes (I'm using 4.1 now, 4.0 might be slightly different but should be close to this):

1) Check that the server you are running James on does not have anything else (mail server daemon or app) using port 25.
2) In configuration manager select your cluster.
2a) Right click any server and choose ADD>James and ADD>Notification (these don't have to be the same server). Set autostart if you want. Save the configuration. Start the services.
2b) Configure James: enter the server domain (fully qualified again), enter the DNS server IP, select SSL if you are using it (requires other configurations!), go to the library tab and add those libraries which you want to add James and Notification to.
2c) Configure Notification:
Mailer Name: The Name endusers will see the mail as 'from'
Mailer Email: The address MP will use to send out the emails and where replies go.
SMTP Server: your SMTP server DNS name or IP (needs to be configured to accept incoming SMTP from your MP cluster).
Account: username for authetication if used by your mail server.
Password: password for the username
SSL (optional)
URL prefix: (fully qualified) ie. http://yourservername.com:8080/worksitemp/ or http://yourservername.com/worksitemp/ if you have integrated with IIS.
As with James add your libraries on the next tab, set the schedule if you want to control when the notifications are sent.
3) In library Manage; for each library you want to use notification on:
3a) Look for system configuration and select it.
3b) In the right ahdn window look through the list for "Domain to be used by the JAMES mail server".
3c) Double click that item and set it to the fully qualified domain name, i.e. mail.vindicoretail.com (this may require restarting your CMS service).
4) Log into MP and add notification to a folder, add a user, then perform an action. You should get your notification.
5) To receive email in the MP inboxes you need to create an alias or a pointer on your DNS to catch MP emails incoming and route them to your James server. I do this with a gateway forwarding all email fitting this format *.library@domain.com to my James server.

If not look in this log on the James/Notification servers.

cms.Notification.servername.log
cmstrans.Notification.servername.log
cms.James.servername.log

Hope that helps.

Here's a somewhat re;ated follow-up question--

Is there some way to manage the JAMES component? To see what inboxes have been created, to see what's inside them outside of WSMP? Also, I'm *dying* for the ability to have folders inside of inboxes...

Write your own inbox worklet? While James is a full featured mail daemon, it is only used in a very limited capacity within MP.

You could start here:

There's also a dev section...
