All of our company's outgoing email is going through the 1.1 release of
JAMES, and half a dozen POP3 accounts here are running under JAMES. There
is some flankiness with POP3 accounts on NT/2k and the Microsoft file system
not trying to delete files. The underlying bug has been patched in Avalon
(and will get fixed in James when we upgrade to the latest Avalon) for file
system storage, and once we also support database storage later this week,
you'll have an easy workaround.
Earlier this month the API was overhauled to have a proper mailet API
(separated from the implementation), addition of TLS/SSL support for the
remote admin and POP3 was added, we just added LDAP support from a proposal
branch, and later this week we're moving the proposal for abstracted Mail
Repositories into the main branch. This will allow you to use a database or
a file system as the storage of messages. We plan to release a 1.2 version
by the end of this month. Once the Mail Repository is merged into the main
branch, we'll test, test, test, and then release.
100 emails per hour is actually not very much traffic (that's roughly 40
seconds per message)... of course it depends how much processing you're
doing on that message, but I'd like to think JAMES could handle 30 messages
a minute at a bare minimum even with storing messages in a database on a
separate machine. The server has a multithread spooler, but I've never used
more than one thread as that's more than fast enough for us.
