Steve:
So are you mean that if I install JAMES and set
mail.server=localhost
The email will work fine?
Thanks

I'm happy to help as best I can - usually _I_ am posting the questions and
bothering the group; so, I appreciate the oppertunity to give a little
something back. :) Please do not give up on Jetspeed just because you do not
want to "bother" the mail group; I have been pestering the Jetspeed team for
~1 year and have yet to get a flame as a response. :) ;) :)
You were right - I looked in my classpath and found the .jars you mentioned
there - I have mail.jar and activation.jar - which I downloaded from
java.sun.com - when I was doing another project. It did not occur to me that
Jetspeed is using these (though I recall these were required way back when
Jetspeed was merely an online email client). As Jetspeed is forever growing,
I am always learning myself.
Anyway, mail.server=<ip address of smtp mail server>. If you point it at
your own system (ie - mail.server=localhost), then you must have a mail
SERVER installed on your local computer. Note that java.apache.org has a
servlet called JAMES which will meet this need.
It requires virtually no installation to install! Warning, though: the
current release is an open-relay. If you follow the JAMES mail list you will
see that the developers will be correcting this any day now.
Otherwise, you can point the mail.server to another mail server. However -
though I must admit I am not an email administrator - I believe that most
email servers can be setup to require some kind of id/passwd before sending
an email, and Jetspeed does not support this. Other mail servers simply
check your ip address then relay the email for you. I would suggest you try
it and see what happens! :)
