Noel, per you suggestion (http://tinyurl.com/c95ph), James-HA depends on JCluster (https://jcluster.dev.java.net/) which is BSD licensed. JGroups is the current group communication implementation being used. So, is the JGroups LGPL license really an issue? My impression, based on your email that I linked to above, was that by using JCluster, the JGroups licensing is not an issue. > That issue aside, we obviously want to see this sort of functionality > brought into JAMES. If Mike wants to do so, that'd be fine. I'm also > interested in seeing the NIO-based approach applied for connections. I'm continuing to develop MINA based protocol handlers. In fact, the project is moving to safehaus.org and is really gaining momentum. I think the MINA architecture would serve JAMES well as much of the talk regarding fast-fail overlaps work already done in MINA itself. I'm also playing around with creating a simple MINA based SMTP client. I think this could greatly improve the the efficiency of sending a large number of emails. -Mike --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
