I think the misleading info is there:

I remembered a bad link somewhere ;-) .. Btw I checked the src headers
and they report ASL2, so the bad reference is only on the website.
I saw you also have an SPF handler. You should consider replacing your
spfjava with our jSPF. We should be much more rfc compliant.
The code that's in HausMail is essentially a MINA based SMTP server-side
protocol handler. There is a lot of Java 5 code in there (enums and
generics) that may have to be refactored. There is also some
experimental code in HausMail that needs to be tested/cleaned up.
In all honesty, I'm more inclined to contribute the SMTP server code in
HausMail to the MINA project. One of the motivating factors in me
writing the HausMail code was because I needed something that could
receive SMTP message but I didn't need a full mail server. I also
wanted something that was much more embeddable than what JAMES is today.
The other motivation for adding it to MINA is that there has been talk
on the MINA list to adding some protocol implementations to the MINA
project.
The HausMail code seems welcome at the MINA project. I need to dedicate
the time to get it moved over there and coordinate with Peter Royal and
Trustin Lee. Does such a move make sense for the JAMES project? I
think it does but that may only be my opinion. Either way, I'm more
than happy to help get the code in HausMail into JAMES. I just think it
makes more since to put the code in MINA and have JAMES use that code.
WDYT?
I don't think that it will be good for MINA to have protocol handling
subprojects, btw If the directory PMC decided this way then I agree with
you and I think that your SMTP implementation should be contributed to MINA.
We could not accept it now because of the java 5 dependency and maybe it
is now much more different from our new smtp handler architecture. I
remember we had a similar pattern 1 year ago, but then we both evolved
in different ways.
Either way if it will be part of MINA we could anyway borrow code/class
from you and I hope that you can help us if we'll need suggestions on
MINA/SMTP as you have that knowledge.
What are the timings for this MINA move?
