Hello everybody,
I have been watching the list archives for a while now(passive user).
This is my first experience with an open source project. Started using
James 1.2 (and now 1.2.1). I think its a great product. The Avalon Framework
and the mailet/matcher's sounds very promising.
I had a few questions/thoughts..
1) Is it a valid scenario where one would want to run the SMTP and POP3
servers on seperate instances (or even seperate machines...when using
TOWN database mail repositories)?
I would think its a valid scenario atleast for scalability reasons. But
the way James is written now doesn't support this. It forces you to run
SMTP, POP3, Remote manager. In my opinion these should be choices for
the user to choose.
2) Is it possible to validate the user on the 'RCPT TO:'(only on local
delivery)? For example, when you send a mail to yahoo.com, it will reject
the 'RCPT TO:' user if not found. The 'RCPT TO:' command will result
in a bad return code(something other than 250...but can't remember what
the exact return code was).
The Mail doesn't have to pass through all the mailets to find the user
is not found. This may not work very well with mailing lists. We could
probably get around the mailing list problem by adding the list address
to the user list. We will not be able to validate the user if the destination
is not local.
3) Has IPFILTERING/TLS support been implemented? I see some related code
under avalon, but not sure if they are complete.
It will be nice to have a <allow>, <deny> list of ip/hostnames with wildcards.
(If this is not done yet, maybe i could contribute some of my time..)
4) I have James1.2.1 running inside Visual Age(IDE). I can debug the
mailets very easily now. It will be nice if the Avalon-james source is
also available with the distribution of James (because Avalon-james is
not the exaclty same as Avalon-2.1).
5) Are we using 'dnsjava' with James?
What do you guys think about these?
Cheers,
Ram.
