Cool! I'm working on making JBoss into a mail server. It already supports: POP/SMTP/SMTP over TLS and will eventually support IMAP, Exchange, Calendaring (including the kind outlook uses), and clustering.
http://www.superlinksoftware.com/cgi-bin/erswiki.pl?MailServicesForJBoss I even plan on giving it and JBoss a fancy new management console: http://www.superlinksoftware.com/cgi-bin/erswiki.pl?JBossConsole I just have to figure out how to write an RMI classloader. Should be fun. I've already got a lot done up to the point where it needs to RMI classload. The mail services stuff is all JMX based and revolves around some key concepts: Connections/threading are generic services handled by an Mbean called ServerMBean Protocols are handled by their own Mbean which cooperates with the ServerMBean. Thus the same thing that handles SMTP connections can handle POP connections, all that changes is the protocol. MailListeners are pluggable, currently I provide a JMS based one as well as the associated Mbean for putting the mail in a mailbox, etc. Mailboxes are presently CMP EJB based (we want caching and all of that jazz). This too is pluggable. User information is a pluggable Mbean. Lastly I'm working on a fingerprint scheme to later be proposed as a standard which hopes to eliminate, reduce or identify spam: http://www.superlinksoftware.com/cgi-bin/erswiki.pl?MailServicesForJBoss/Fin gerprints Anyone else doing anything cool?
