Hi, let me introduce myself I am Lenny, and I’ve been in the OSS space for over 15 years now. Currently, I am the Apache Shiro PMC chain, and a contributor to many Apache and other Open Source (Jakarta EE and related) projects.
And to the problem at hand… I have been running my own email server for my family and friends for around ~30 years. It has evolved over the decades. Generally, I am pretty happy about things, except issues do come up from time to time. Currently, I am facing one of those issues, which is a recurring issue. My inbound email providers for relay, store-and-forward and backup are failing me from time to time. I have used ImprovMX, which I had mystery problems with that they could not fix. Now I am with dynu.com <http://dynu.com/>. Dynu has 2 issues: sometimes the email queue gets resend (I get a bunch of dupliates) I get a bunch of spam emails that don’t get filtered probllely. I am ready to bring inbound email backup / spam / queue relay server in-house. What are my requirements? Relay SMTP server with the following features: - Accept email via unencrypted and SSL - Relay this email via SSL - Filter / bounce spam if it doesn’t pass SPF or DKIM - Filter / bounce spam if it’s originating IP or domain is listed in any RBL lists (checked real-time) - Filter / bounce spam if the links inside the it are listed in any RBL lists (real-time checking) Does Apache James an appropriate tool to use given these requirements? If not, can you recommend another tool that matches what I am looking for? Thank you very much!
