Good Morning,
I am looking for more information about the "mechanics" of James so I decide or not
decide if I can make a contribution or not.
Also, I have several questions concerning how James "holds" a message while the
mailets process. For instance, does James load an entire message, includ
Hello,
I am working on a mailet that will perform a database lookup on each piece of mail.
Since creating a JDBC connection is expensive, I wanted to create a persistent
connection that the mailet could use on each mail message.
Before I do a ton of research, has anyone heard of this being
Noel,
Thanks for the information! I have worked with Connection Pools in MTS
(Microsoft Transaction Server), but was uncertain if Connection Pools were
accessible to Mailets. It makes good sense that those Pools would have to
be accessible.
Any ideas where I can read up on how to use these new

This is a quick question. What the agreed upon definition for "virtual user"? For

I just set up a small e-mail server for our group and am having trouble with email

Hello,
This question is more directed to Noel than anyone else. There is a
class called JDBCUtil that is used in several mailets. I don't really
want to use it, but I am using the James (2.2.0a8) version of connection
pooling. Is there any reason why I can't simple use the JDBC statements

Hello,
As you know in the config.xml file there is the "auto detect" xml tag
for the SMTP and POP3 servers. I want to make sure I understand what
these actually do. There is an SMTP tag called "Received" followed by
the name of the mail server.
Currently I have the autodetect XML tag set to
This is a rather silly question, but I found a need to access the
postmaster account. Several message have come and I need to review
them. How can I check this account from a mta like Outlook?

This is a silly question, but I am the administrator of this JAMES
server and did not occur to me how to receive mail that is addressed to
the postmaster. How would I receive these messages?

the fastest way (for me anyway) is in the config.xml :

I have been experimenting trying to prevent messages that don't match a
certain set of rules to be stopped before they reach the Spool
Repository. In my work, I came across the idea of using the same

There is a getMailetContext.sendMail() method that accepts a sender,
recipient, and mail message. Change the sender to the person that you
want the return path to be and it should work.
context.sendMail(sender, forwardto, msg);

Good Evening,
I have been looking at JAMES and it occurred to me that the JAMES server
advertises itself in the email trace information in an email message.
i.e.
If a hacker sees this and knows anything about JAMES, they could take
advantage that the config.xml file is clear text and easily
Good Morning,
I appreciate everyone's suggestions concerning the security of JAMES and
the mySQL datebase that the server uses. The developer group is small
enough to prevent rogue employees through limiting who has access to a
username and changing passwords every two weeks.

Good Afternoon,
I am familar with Noel's capacity numbers; however, I was wondering if
anyone has experience scaling JAMES to run on multiple servers or to off
load some of it functionality to another server. I am looking at
handling several hundred thousand messages a day.

Qmail gets the mail, our mailets process
the mail and give it back to Qmail for transmission. This gives use both
speed and reliability without resorting to expensive clustering

Good Morning,
I wanted to place Qmail in front of JAMES and have perform the necessary
processing then hand the mail back to Qmail. I believe that it is as
easy as configuring FetchPOP with the correct domain and username to
pull the names. Am I correct?

I am looking at stress testing my JAMES server. I took a look at POSTAL and RABID.
Are these
good testing programs or could someone recommend another tool to use?

Hello everyone,
I am trying to determine who sent a mail. I am not looking for a 100% effective way
of stopping a

Good Morning,
Last night, I performed a stress test of JAMES using the software Postal by Russel

test simply sent mails to JAMES where a mailet sunk them. I am concerned that the

went from 480 megs of memory used to 687 megs of memory used. More importantly, the
