Hi Guys,

In a previous thread I was talking about creating a web app for Apache James. 
Along this same train of thinking In development I have successfully got James 
to deploy under Jetty using the App package and changing the reference to the 
spring-server.xml in the web.xml file.

The big problem I see with this approach is the age old issue of port binding. 
When running the web app and James as a non root user you cannot bind to ports 
1-1024. Common solutions to this is using iptables to redirect the ports, 
running tomcat/jetty as root etc. 

I was wondering if you have any better suggestions to minimize the security 
implications of running this set-up. In production I will be using tomcat and 
centos6 I know this isn't largely focus around a JAMES specific issue however 
for users wanting to run the same set-up I think this discussion will be worth 
while.
