Hi Mark,
I'm surprised nobody gave you the link to the how-to customize mail
processing in the official doc, but should greatly help I believe (which
is based on the example linked by Benoit, but with a step-by-step
guide): https://james.apache.org/howTo/mail-processing.html
Also to know if your mailet was loaded correctly or not... did you add
it in the mailet processing (aka mailetcontainer.xml file)? If you try
to add your custom mailet in your pipeline, if James didn't load it and
then find it, it would just throw at startup. If you added it in the
pipeline and your server starts, it's likely that it loaded successfully
I believe.
Rene.

HI All,
Me again. Thanks, Benoit, for your response. I finally managed to get
some time to set up an eclipse project and build a custom mailet, I just
wanted to start with a simple mailet that would log some details of the
incoming emails so that I can make sure the deployment is sound. Sadly
I don;t see the mailet loading, but I do see it on the classpath.
I am running this on linux, using docker for the James server. I have
attached the custom-mailet jar file I have built, and the logs I have
taken from the server. Based on what I have seen, the standard build of
James uses SLF4J, but I can create a custom logger if I were to use
log4j, the docker container does not have a log4j config, but rather
seems to use logback, due to using it in a cluster. SO not really sure
how I can get my mailet logging on the container.
Also, the log file seems to load my custom jar, but I don;t ever see the
registration of the matcher and my mailet class, so not sure it's
actually loading.
Any hints or tips on where to go would be greatly appreciated.

On Aug 22, 2023 6:24 PM, from Mark Andrews Hi All,
I have an interesting problem that I am trying to resolve, that
requires me
to write custom code to catch emails sent to an SMTP server, and then
process them.
I have many years of Java experience and came across Apache James as a
possible way to achieve this.
I guess after looking at all the documentation and reading through the
site, what I am left asking myself is 'How do I build a mailet to do
what I
want, from scratch, as a Proof of Concept in the first instance, and
then
how do I develop it into a final solution.
If anyone can point me in the right direction for this, I am more than
happy to write a blog article, or post detailing the process so that
it can
be added to the Apache James site.
Kind regards
