James is much more battle-tested than most open source Java mail servers out there, and I think we could get that across with a marketing driven page. I think this would also help people who are looking to "sell" James internally.

Noel behind the guru of James scalability, you probably have the most about of data to support this. We could start with Hut's questions on James' user and add a few extra:

Q: How long has James been running in production?
A: Since 1999.

Q: How stable is James? On a suitable server does it crash once a week, month, or never?
A (Kenny's): I've been running my James install for about 5 months and I found it not running only one time. I don't know if it was James or badness on my server that caused it to die, but regardless, it's very stable.


Q: How many messages can James handle before it experiences lag or buffer overload? Could it handle a T1 line with incoming messages?
A: <Noel, could you add stats on the battery of tests you run?>


Q: Has anyone had any problem incorporating custom Mailets into the server or experienced any unusual problem with database connections?
A: <Yes, it is difficult to add custom mailets. See the tutorial [here]. Database connection code is getting reworked and will not survive a database outage.>


Q: Is there a published list of corporate users that anyone knows about?
A: <Hmmm... maybe start compiling a list? Send an email out to james-user and start collecting and publishing names?>


Q: Would you recommend James (version 2.1.3) as a production, scalable MTA?
A: Yes.

Other questions?
