Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "James Wiki" for change notification.
The following page has been changed by DannyAngus: http://wiki.apache.org/james/NoFastFail ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + '' Thanks to pressure applied by our users, and a [http://code.google.com/summerofcode05.html Google Summer of Code 05] student Anagha Mudigonda, James now supports fast-fail. :-) However the arguments presented below are still valid, only the question has changed: '''"should I use Fast Fail?"''' + - The community behind the James server is currently not supporting fast-failing (or at most minimal support). Fast-failing means that when someone connects to your SMTP server, you reject the connection, sender, or email during the SMTP session rather than accept it first and reject it later. + Fast-failing means that when someone connects to your SMTP server, you reject the connection, sender, or email during the SMTP session rather than accept it first and reject it later.) Many people request this feature, so I'm writing up why we have decided against it. Note that I am presenting my personal (Serge Knystautas) view that is not necessarily shared 100% by the community (and, in fact, there is a proposal that will allow robust fast-fail in future versions of James). However, I present my complete biased philosophy so you can hear the argument in lieu of trying to explain the pragmatic, moderate stance of the community that is a balance of many voices.
