Hi, guys, again ! You started great project. I read your PDF (The Case for mail services) and that sounds VERY great ! I thought about same project some time ago and I'm very glad that you started this up already. I'm system administrator with enough knowledge of - what I need from the mailserver for organizations, so can I comment something ? :-)
I've seen your code and I see you're very much depends from email essense. I think it's bad. For example you divides MailMessage to Body and Headers (and offer to divide it more to From, To, ....), but many of items in the storage may not contain these fields, so maybe you need to simplify MessageStore ? I don't need just another mailserver (we have a lot of them), we need Information Storage for organizations. Users should be able to store many of their data on this server (mails, contacts, ICQ history, .... ), should be able to search in this storage. It should be replicable and should be ready for cluster support. Hope JBoss server will help in many of this possibilities. Of course it should be able to work with mail over any protocols. SMTP should not be major protocol for the server, because SMTP may die in the nearest future... Much of this possibilities MS Exchange has, but it still proprietary and still very closed. It's very heavy to extend MS Exchange for specific needs. I've seen JAMES, it has great feature 'mailets'. I hope you (or me :-) ) will implement the same feature, to make this server very flexible. But JAMES still usual just another mailserver (SMTP/POP3 toaster), and I don't see any reasons to use their Java mailserver if I have enough native mailservers with the same features.... So as system (mail) administrator I promise to investigate your project on the development phase - how it's flexible for system administrators and for users. :-) I've started to think about universal storage for mailserver (with all described before possibilities), so maybe it will be useful in the future.
