Hi,
okay I have been a little fast. I knew that you can send emails without
including the recipients in the header, with smtp you can even send anything
else than a mime message. But I wouldn't recommend anybody to do send emails
without including the final recipient in the header, if the recipient in the
To: header is not an email address well known to the actual recipient. The
only thing I didn't think about is, that the Forward Servlet is, of course
not changing the headers. I don't know about James handling of the Bcc:
header. Is it removed from the mail before delivery? Is this done by james
or the mail api? On the incoming or the outgoing?
Stefan, to answer your question: The code I posted will deliver a mail sent
to the email address given in the james.conf to any address returned by the
method getRecipients() which you would have to implement. It could do
anything. But refering to what I just wrote, you should think about changing
the To: header. The code could look like this:
public void service(Mail mail) throws MessagingException {
MailAddress [] recipients = getRecipents(mailinglist);
MimeMessage source = mail.getMessage();
for (int i=0;i<recipients.length;i++) {
InternetAddress [] to = recipients[i].toInternetAddress();
MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(source);
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,to);
getMailetContext().sendMail(mail.getSender(), recipients[i],
msg);
}
mail.setState(Mail.GHOST);
}
I really don't know if james processes several mails in parallel. in this
case i would insert a sleep in the mailet.
But probably writing such a mailet isn't what you really want? As I wrote
before, there is probably a way to use the already written Mailets for
Mailinglists. The Mailet I presented is just one way. (The way I would do
it.) It enables you to get the Recipients from any resource you can access
from within Java, what should be anywhere, if you know Java at all. If to
correct another error I made in my last posting: MailetContext.sendMail()
let the Mail be processed by the root processor first and not the transport
processor. I don't know what made me think so ....
Greetings,
Marcus
