Serge, thanks once more for the input.
I guess I'll go ahead and ask the group for any pointers on what I am am
considering using james for. The basic function will be to attach a small
trailer to every message going through the smtp server, yes kindof like
those annoying ads that hotmail and others use, but this is to be utilized
by a non-profit organization. What I am going to need to figure out is the
simplest way to handle a number of message mime types, from plain ol text to
html and other mixed multi-part messages. Before I go nuts figuring out all
the mime stuff, can any of you suggest a scheme for attaching the short
message in a way that will work across many or even all message types?
Thanks guys
Brady Moritz

The DB is certainly slower than file, no doubt. However, I've noticed that
unless you're sending lots of emails (thousands an hour), it's still
acceptable. For my JDBC driver though, I found that performance dropped off
geometrically in relation to the size of the message, not so much the number
of messages. So a 1 meg message was maybe 100 times slower than a 100k
message.
The latest code in CVS greatly optimizes the DB access, and mail/spool
repositories in general.
