Josh, As someone who spent a fair amount of time configuring James, I would like to see improvements in the documentation.including:
1. How to run James, either using one of the wrappers in the /bin folder or running it in a servlet container context, which would include good instructions on setting up the Spring project. For example, on *nix there should be clear instructions on running the service safely without root privileges. 2. Configuring each of the XML configuration files, including example configurations for specific use cases. There are lots of options and it is not always clear how to do particular things, so people spend a lot of time trying things out before they get a good base working configuration. 3. Configuring associated tech, like DNS records for SPF and DKIM. This could include external links to tools, examples, etc. Robert On Dec 9, 2014, at 4:50 AM, Josh Armstrong <jarmstr...@centonline.com> wrote: > What still needs doing for the next release?
