myname@localhost.com with JAMES

I just installed JAMES (Java Apache Mail Enterprise Server) and I am trying to use this as a mail server.

I am trying to create a mail ID myname@localhost.com and I want it to receive a mail from mail@gmail.com and save it on to a database.

I already made the connection and I can save it in the datab开发者_如何转开发ase.

My main problem is how to create the mail ID myname@localhost.com.

How can I do that ?

localhost is not a domain and so you can't create www.localhost.com

localhost is not accessible on a remote host. You can only access it locally via http://localhost

You will require a domain name for a mail server.

You can create a free domain name for testing purpose as explained in this article
