Does the email client communicate with REST to the ReputationServer? This sounds a bit odd cause you will have to develop custom plugins/extensions for all clients.

I would rather have used LDAP which is supported by all major clients.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for ur response. Please find my high-level architecture diagram at :

It would be great to get your suggestions on the architecture to make it
more generic and extensible.

Thanks,
Dileepa

Yes, James is the ideal fit for such specific mail usecases.

Hi All,
I'm Dileepa a newbie to Apache James. I'm doing my Msc research project
on : Reputation Management in Email Networks in which I aim to implement
a reputation management network among peers using email systems.
Each user will have an index of reputation scores for his contacts
(based on email content analysis as per his personal context and number
of spam/not-important messages sent by the contact). This reputation
scores should be shared among peers in a controlled manner (ACL,
authorization) to deliver a collaborative reputation network. I'm
planning to use an extended SMTP protocol to share reputation attached
to email users.

I came across the Apache James <http://james.apache.org/> project and

realized it provides an API to extend existing protocols like SMTP and
IMAP to perform additional tasks via APIs like James Mailet
<http://james.apache.org/**mailet/index.html<http://james.apache.org/mailet/index.html>>
and SMTP Hooks.


Below is the architecture I have in mind for reputation management via
email networks. Reputation Server, ReputationBox are analogous to the
email IMAP/POP servers and MBox of users. I highly appreciate your ideas
on my project and wish to incorporate your suggestions on using Apache
James or related technologies to my project.

Your thoughts and tips on James are highly appreciated.
