Hmm... spam is not the goal here... it is important for this app to send mail regardless if there is an available MTA or not ... I checked into the JavaMail api again ... i still don't see where you can avoid the MTA requirement... However i think that i have the answer I needed .. I can either use JAMES itself and turn off the services i dont need, but i think i may have to go with rolling my own Avalon style/phoenix container... Thanks a lot for the help all :D --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
