Thanks Sergey, I think you're dead on with the specific issues with mail storage. I disagree with the YAMS sentiment, in that each mail server have issues and I've not yet found one that I like. Granted I'm sure some folks will eventually investigate us and not like what we're doing, but ultimately I think we can reach Exchange's feature set, be protocol compatible without some of its annoying flaws (proprietary, license costs, security failings, maintentance downtime, single operating system, etc). I agree the functionality in the JAMES mailet interface is something that we should achieve. I'd actually like to go a bit further and have some (thinking javascript?) scripting support so that admins can write mailets of sorts if they need.
Mail services is set up to be protocol extensible from the ground up. Meaning if you look at my twiddle example, it has nothing to do with email. I'm not 100% convinced that we should tackle "universal storage" but its an interesting idea. More and more it looks like a lot of what we're doing will tie well into JBoss Nukes. Clustering is an issue that we're already discussing. We must support clustering. If you look closely at our storage stuff, its pretty imature but designed to be pluggable. Mail Services is still pretty early in development (we haven't even had a milestone release) so understand that some pieces have been implemented just to have something WORKING rather than perfected. I wanted a running mail server as close to day one as possible. Fancy stuff comes later :-) I hope you're right about SMTP, but to be honest, I doubt its going away in the near future. I appreciate your feedback and keep it up. While I'm not entirely convinced that we should be a universal content storage solution I'm open to being convinced and maybe better integration with nukes in the future will achieve the same goal. Ultimately, I want Mail Services to be at least as easy to set up as Exchange, at least as featureful, but I expect to match the performance and stability of postfix and other UNIX mail servers.
