I wrote most of what's in HausMail but it's been about a year since
I've done any real work on it.  HausMail is a server side SMTP
protocol handler based largely on Apache JAMES.  It supports pluggable
SMTP authentication, StartTLS, and basic SMTP functionality.  HausMail
is not perfect by any means and it's still alpha quality code.
There's a lot to SMTP that it still needs to be implemented.  HausMail
also doesn't do anything with the emails it receives other than spit
them out to the console.

If you need something for a proof-of-concept, HausMail might work well
for you.  If you need a real SMTP server built on MINA, HausMail
probably won't help you in its current state.

I'm hoping to eventually get HausMail to the point that it's a robust
pluggable server side SMTP protocol handler.  I would also like to
move HausMail over to MINA as a sub-project. The goal would be to
create a server side SMTP protocol handler that could potentially be
plugged into Apache JAMES or other Java based SMTP servers.  Whether
or not I'm ever able to find the time to bring this to fruition is
another story.

If someone wanted to start helping with this goal, I would be happy to
support them but I don't have the time right now to lead such a
project.  If I ever finish my masters thesis...

Stefano, maybe you and I should try to collaborate and share some of
our ideas for a MINA based SMTP protocol handler.  I would love to see
what you're working on.

HausMail, here:
http://hausmail.safehaus.org/

I also am working on an open source MINA based smtp client/server
solution, but it is still work in progress / prototype, so I don't know
when I will publish it.
