I am not running James in Ofbiz I use the mail container to pull emails
from James, by Account.
There is one other way, that I have not done, is to write a Mailet in
james that sends all emails to ofbiz after doing the processing to
reject emails but before sending the emails to James mail store. This
means you can have a simple SMTP server in ofbiz. The EMail processor
currently finds the matching emails.
Also if there is a lot of emails it would bog down Ofbiz if it had to do
all the processing that james does.
However for mail clients to connect to ofbiz it needs to have a POP3
server container and POP3 service that looks up accounts via
findemailaccounts service.

You could run something like Apache James in the ofbiz container and
use it as an email server. You may also be able to use the current
mail server polling stuff and have it just hit a whole bunch of
accounts, but that would probably be a real pain if you have very
many users.

I believe BJ is doing something like that (with James I mean). If he have a
chance he may explain further.

Hi everybody -
Is it possible to write an SMTP mail container, which can turn
ofbiz into an smtp proxy and allow users to write emails in outlook/
thunderbird/whatever, but route the emails through ofbiz so they
can be stored as communication events, categorized against various
parties and events, and then forwarded on?
Best Regards,
