Eric, Thanks for the tip... The fully qualified class name trick works...
Q1: Is this a bug or by design? My mailetcontainer.xml has a package space matching my mailet in the mailet-packages element. Q2: What dependencies are guaranteed for mailets in the out-of-the-box configuration for James? I added the following but don't know if they comply with the deployment scheme and class discovery employed by James: <james-home>/conf/lib/apache-mailet-2.4.jar <james-home>/conf/lib/james-stuff-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar (my customizations) <james-home>/conf/lib/mail-1.4.3.jar (depended on by apache-mailet) <james-home>/conf/lib/mailet-3.0.jar (depended on by my custom binary) Seems like some of these 'extra' deployments might cause security exceptions when encountered by classloaders... My custom code extends GenericMailet following an example in the docs--if there is a better preferred method to implement mailets that help would be appreciated.

Putting the jar with all its dependencies in <james-home>/conf/lib should work. Btw, documentation is updated but still needs to be deployed. Thx.
