James put a lot of logs about what's going on in the
<jamesfolder>apps/james/logs folder. About the outgoing spool
managemenet you should find useful logs in the mailetlog
(RemoteDelivery mailet) or in the default*.log.

You can increase the logging altering the
replacing log-level="INF" with
log-level="DEBUG" in the components you want to trace.

Try this command:

"telnet mx.wm.co.za. 25"

if you can't see

Trying 196.25.211.166
Connected to mx.wm.co.za
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.webmail.co.za ESMTP Welcome to the Webmail.co.za SMTP Server.
quit
221 mail.webmail.co.za Goodbye.
Connection closed by foreign host.

then you have a network problem: either you have a firewall blocking
that connection or your provider blocks port 25 (it happens).

PS: it's not a DNS problem because the IP has been resolved as you can
see in the logs (196.25.211.166).

>>From what I understand here I have a problem with my mail server being
unavailable. I also think that it could have something to do with the DNS
Server properties in my config.xml, I have tried to enter the information
that was provided in the documentation but this did not yield any results. I
then tried to enter DNS Servers off a website that said these were the
primary addresses with same effect. Do I need to configure a DNS on my
machine?

Nothing seems to be happening when the screen shows so I take it that there

port that I could use to bypass this.

Some ISPs block any connection to port 25 except the connections to
their mailserver. You should ask your ISP if they provide some relay you
can use to send mail
