Gary, I don't want to speak for everyone, but here's my take on the situation.

Certainly correct. > 2) There are at least two (three?) different *unofficial* sets of patches > that will add virtual hosting support to James Yes. Support remains somewhat limited, and exactly what feature set you get depends on the patch. The only one that I know of that is both in the source tree and is used in a production situation is the JdbcVirtualUserTable mailet.

High on the priority list for 3.0, but that release is still in the early planning stages. > * If running a patched FrankenJames is the only way to get virtual hosting > now, anybody got any suggestions about what patches to use and what > version(s) of James these patches will work with? As I said, check out the JdbcVirtualUserTable mailet. It will be compatible with the 2.1 release. Given the scope of some of the code change in that release, I'm not sure that any of the other patches will be compatible. --Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:james-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:james-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
