The goal was to provide an industry standard for mailets which any mail server could
implement. These javadocs are a proposal for a standard that other mail servers could
implement if they so choose. It is not a statement of existing features of these
systems.
That said, JAMES is the only mail server that supports the mailet API (technically,
JAMES itself doesn't run them just yet). It is up to the independent mail server to
determine whether they want to support mailets and accordingly provide a way to run
them.
I doubt if sendmail will ever support mailets, although someone could probably write a
hack by making a command line mailet engine. It would be very inefficient, just as
old HTTP servers running cgi were very inefficient. Doesn't seem like it would be
that unreasonable to do though.
