Hi Nathan,
I theory, James is quite capable of doing what you describe. In fact it is
capable of very nearly anything. The question is, how much Java code are
you willing to write? I am not aware of any standard Mailet that will do
what you ask and I doubt that any mail server would have this feature. You
would have to write a mailet that did the job for you. Assuming that you
are comfortable with Java, this is not a difficult task, although getting
your mailet up and running inside James for the first time is typically
quite difficult for newcomers. This list has a web search feature that
should allow you find the answer to most of your initial problems.
Cheers

Subject: Is James suitable as an
email proxy?
12/11/2002 07:46
Please respond to
"James Users List"
Hi, I'm new to this list. I have a long-standing email problem (more of an
annoyance really) and I'd like to know if James could help me around it.
I have rules attached to my email account at work to forward some messages
on to my personal accounts. It's a crude means of synchronization, but
it's fairly effective. The only problem with it is that forwarded messages
arrive in my personal inbox inside an empty message used for the forward.
I'd like to automatically unpack the forwarded message and discard the
wrapper, but I have yet to find an email client that offers anything that
sophisticated in its rules.
I'm interested in using James as a proxy between my email client and my
ISP's POP3 server. Is it possible to use James in this configuration? If
so, does James' architecture allow a filter to be written that would
transform a message in this way?
I may be misinterpreting what James is useful for, but this application was
the first thing that came to mind when Noel described it in a talk last
week at CSS 2002.
Thanks,
-Nathan Williams
