Question: Is there a way for James initiate a connection to another mail server and process the mail as if it had been sent to James via SMTP?
Details: I'm trying to set up a mail server for my business, but we are connected through a firewall to an ISP. I have been told that our ISP can not (or will not) "push" the mail through to us via SMTP, but that we must "pull" it. I can think of a few very inelegant ways to get around this problem (such as using the JavaMail API to make a simple program that will get all new messages from the ISP via POP3 and immediately send them to James via SMTP) but if there are any such solutions built in to James (or if there is some aspect of SMTP/POP3 protocols that I have overlooked) that would be very much prefferable. (Also it could be that I have been misinformed. It seems very fishy to me that an ISP would be unable to relay messages to our server.) The most important thing is that I need to be able to make use of James' Mailet Processor Pipeline, and if I don't need to use the smtp protocol then that would be fine. Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions, comments, or what-have-you, I would greatly appreciate it! (I started this job a month ago with no experience outside of the JAVA programming language, and setting up a mail-server on a Unix machine with a JSP-based web-mail interface that could be interfaced with the in-house database was my first task!)
