Yes, def.
Imo the *must* are a little different:
a) letting the mailet indicate that it consumed the message
b) letting the mailet return multiple mails (resulting from a split, or
newly generated) without the use of sendMail.
Right! That's not even possible now. So a) consume b) inject in
current spot of processor c) inject into another processor.
I use "inject" rather than "return an array" because I think it is
easier to call mailetcontext.injectHere(Mail) 4 times than to keep all
those Mail in memory, construct a 4 element array and populate that
way. I find it intuitive, but others may not. I think this is better
from a memory/heap usage perspective though.
So my method signatures would like like...
public interface Mailet {
/**
* return boolean Whether mailet consumed it
*/
public boolean service(Mail mail)
}
public interface MailetContext {
public void injectHere(Mail);
public void injectElsewhere(Mail, String spoolname);
}
Those names are not good, but that's the rough signature.
