CVS stand does not compile !

2004-12-13 Thread Ahmed Mohombe
Hi, If one checks JAMES fresh from CVS and tries to run ant on it will receive a lot of compiler errors and the build process will fail. I saw that the last modifications on files in CVS (on sources/libs) were taken a long time ago (more than two months). Is this normal for an Apache project not

If you're looking for a low cost windows option for home LAN dns I couldn't reccomend simple dns plus highly enough. (If English is not your native tongue that means I *like* it a lot! ;-) Although it seems to have doubled in price since I paid for it four years ago... You can host your own domain

Well, i have no idea about whats happening with regards to avalon, etc. I think i recall something about james ditching it for the next major release. But i suspect the next major release of james is a very long way off! James isnt one of the most actively developed apache projects. It has a fai

Hi, I was doing the same things in paralell on windows and linux, and on windows if I follow the "quick start" : start, stop, configure..., doesn't work: - on windows the apps/james contains no SAR-INF after stoping it (while it runs, the directory with the config files is there). In logs/phoe

One thing to note is that just because avalon is gone, doesnt mean you cant continue to use it/modify it for your own use. One of the many many benefits of open source software! Also, it looks to me like its just been split into several projects. Loom seems to be a direct replacement for phoenix!

Re: Repository migration question.

2004-12-13 Thread Ahmed Mohombe
There are no utilities to do this. I think Noel used a mailet that would pull from one repository and reinject it into the spool, and I guess you could accomplish a repository migration this way, but I'm not familiar with the mailet or exactly how you'd do that. Thank you for the "reinject" ide

James will not be abandoned. It's an entirely different situation. Glad to hear that. It would be really bad if the only real Java mail server would be abandoned too. We don't have one yet. It's a non-trivial change to replace your entire backend, so we're still discussing how exactly we'll be

Hi, All the links related to Avalon and Phoenix return to the same page that "Avalon has been stopped". Under these conditions for a new user is very hard to understand how things work in James. Some of the other links that point to messages in mail archives do not work either (IMHO for links i

Take a look at the faq: http://james.apache.org/FAQ.html#7 It explains the virtual user table. This allows you to have users on lots of different domians (including the same username on multiple domains). Basically... 1. set up james in general 2. set up that table 3. set up that mailet 4. inser

See the VirtualUserTable mailets. Thanks for the hint. I see it but I do not understand, cause I see not "REAL" example how to configure the thing :( . I read all the docs available for JAMES and the entire WIKI but I'm not a bit smarter about how to do it :( . Thanks in advance, Ahmed. ---
