Hi Marc
In the JAMES.conf.xml file you'll see sections <mailetpackages> and
<matcherpackages>. If you create a new mailet or a matcher you need to add
your package in there - it's pretty obvious how to do it - so
com.yourDomain.mailets etc. Sounds like you've just got a new mailet, not
a matcher, so you won't need to do both. The transport processor section
is the right place - other than this I think you're setup is correct.
