Hi Norman,

done. Nevertheless I think it's a suboptimal solution to offer a 
sendmail-wrapper in Python, when there could be one in Java...

Why?
- I had to to install a hole Python-engine (with all the side effects it may 
bring) on my system just for this wrapper! (No, I don't use Python for other 
things)
- The wrapper unnecessary communicats via sockets (with all the side effects it 
may bring) with the smtp-server. If there would be a sendmail-wrapper in Java 
that would directly speek with the spool, this communication could be 
economised.

im not sure at the moment why james people choose to use python for the
wrapper.. This was before i joined the project. But i agree that
javamail for the wrapper whould maybe the better solution.

Any thoughts ?

I don't think javamail would be the solution. As I said before there should be no socket-communication at all. IMHO the spoolmanager should have an interface where one can drop new eMails for delivery via a Java-API. A wrapper could parse the input comming from the wrapper-caller and talk directly to the spoolmanager-interface...

Best regards
Stephan
