How well is the NNTP support integrated with the rest of the Matcher/Mailet processing architecture? I'm hoping I can gateway James newsgroups and mailing lists together. Is there any docs on what happens with a NNTP message is received? Also, shouldn't the articleIDDomainSuffix be different per James server rather than being the fixed value in the initial configuration (news.james.apache.org) ? I.E. I think this should be changed to the local machine name. I'm not a NNTP guru, so I could be wrong on this. Another few unrelated questions/comments: 1: What's so wrong about sending out single innocent DHCP UDP packet to query the DNS server on startup? Is that really so bad? 2: James detects that my machine's name is "dsmiley" but it doesn't also realize that "dsmiley.mitre.org" is also my machine's name. Is it possible that the RecipientIsLocal matcher could do the DNS lookup of the machine name if it appears that the DNS name might resolve to the local James? Or maybe the initial detection could be smarter to know at that time. 3: The "Handling mail for" info log messages in James.log confused me at first. I think they ought to be worded differently to clarify that these are machine names, not user names. 4: Where is the NotifySender mailet documented? I looked for it here: http://jakarta.apache.org/james/configuration_v2_0.html but didn't find it. Ultimately, I am just curious to make sure that it will try to detect that messages between two mail servers won't bounce back and forth forever if there is a configuration problem. ~ David Smiley -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
