I think that there would be thread pools management at least for RemoteDelivery, don't we?
I don't know whether JMS can do the delayed processing, so perhaps we use something like Quartz in conjunction with JMS. But the goal is to remove this thread/timing management code from James and rely on more tested technologies.
Anyway, this is an incredibly non-trivial change, but as long as people are considering POJO and Spring, this would fit nicely into that architecture, and it is Apache-style licensing.
Are you thinking to ActiveMQ as an alternative to spoolrepositories/spoolmanager/processors or the JamesSpoolManager/LinearProcessor should be translated in a ActiveMQ specific broker?
Spool repository is basically a mail repository with a linear processor. Right now Avalon is instantiating a thread pool to manage linear processors, and instead LinearProcessor would be a POJO message listener of a JMS topic.
