I'm certainly no expert, but have set up both James and Sendmail. James is by far more intuitive. The Sendmail learning curve is steep to put it mildly.

There is a lot of work going on right now with respect to the documentation. A "beta" version is available at http://jakarta.apache.org/~pgoldstein/.

If you think that James is complicated, you'll go bald dealing with sendmail. It is a nightmare. James is really easy. But if you are having problems getting started, that's OK ... kind of ... because it means that you can help us get the docs right for you and for the next person. --- Noel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail message (including attachments, if any) is intended for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, proprietary , confidential and exempt from disclosure.
