> 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.
