My MINA based SMTP protocol handler is at http://hausmail.safehaus.org/ The code depends on MINA trunk and won't compile at the moment because of some changes to MINA. I should have this issue resolved over the weekend though. HausMail implements STARTTLS and already has some fast fail support if TLS is required. It is also very fast and optimized for performance. It does zero copy all the way up the protocol stack so it can receive data very efficiently. I haven't tested HausMail for load and performance much yet but I have access to some of the super computers at Brigham Young University as part of my grad school studies and I plan to take full advantage of them. There are issues to using MINA though. Using TLS with MINA requires Java 5.0. Also, Noel doesn't seem to excited to depend heavily on MINA (which, for the record, I don't agree with). I think the advantages of MINA heavily out weight the cons. Aside from SMTP, I honestly can't see JAMES having a scalable IMAP server without using a Staged Event Driven Architecture (SEDA) architecture and MINA gives us that for free. If there are questions about HausMail and/or MINA, I'm more than happy to try and answer them. -Mike --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
