I wrote a MINA based SMTP handler (http://hausmail.safehaus.org) that I would love to contribute to MINA. About a year ago I tried to get it included in the JAMES project but the Java 5 requirement for StartTLS support seamed to turn a lot of people off. The code certainly isn't perfect and needs some additional work but I think it's a good start. I will have time this week and over the weekend to put together something that could be included in MINA. BTW, I love the idea of a protocol sub-module in MINA. -Mike
