That is often the point. Given the solid core it is simple to add
mailet/matchers to achieved custom solutions. For instance, I know of one
major ISP that uses James to detect email zombies on their network using a
combination of James' and their own matchers. Other organisations use a
mailet to inject the mail, or some portion of it, into a JMS queue for
consumption by downstream systems. As an email to whatever application
"james kicks arse".

None with imap as we don't support it, few with nntp as the implementation
is weak and no one seems to have any desire to enhance it. Right now almost
everyone not using James as a "front-end to applications" is using pop3, a
few as a filtering relay.
