Two quick thoughts before I return to lurking...
1. ESMTP support sounds great. +1 to incorporating it.
2. I've been thinking of going into the guts of James to reduce the use of a
MimeMessage.
Really, the only time we *need* a MimeMessage object is during Mailet
processing. I remember adding code so that the Mail object only
instantiates the MimeMessage if a mailet uses the MimeMessage, and this
speeds things great, but I'm not sure what the state of that is now (whether
it's only on the database repository or for all types of repositories or
what).
The areas were we don't need MimeMessage at all are during SMTP receive,
SMTP delivery, and POP retrieval. We're using MimeMessage because it's a
easy, but it'd be a lot more efficient (speed, memory, everything) if we
were using streams to do this and possibly doing some small verification of
the format.
I don't really have time, but thought I'd bring this up if anybody else was
thinking about it.
