That all makes sense.

Fortunately, I have that.

OK, I tried this but didn't have much success. I found that the .jar files from the
james.sar were getting extracted into james-1.2/work/james-1066282402475/SAF-INF/lib.
However, copying my mailet JAR into this directory didn't do much good as Phoenix
apparently wipes the work folder the next time it starts up.
So, taking Brian's advice

I exploded the james.sar, added my .jar, and jar'd it back up again.
Now everything is working just dandy (except I'm getting ParseExceptions using
MailAddress -- but that's another problem). This seems like a tedious way of
deploying my mailet, but I guess that's what shell scripts are for. ;)
Thanks everyone for the input.
Cheers,
James
