So what I propose is that we setup a JAMES zone, and start to deploy
JAMES
in that zone. That will be published in the DNS, and quite shortly we
should start to see a lot of connections coming to it as millions of
spambots start to exercise JAMES for us. So we'll have a built-in
load test
running, courtesy of the botnets, and we can just watch the build
work or
crash in flames without any concern for lost messages. We will need
to be
careful to initially disable the ability to send mail, and open it
up very
carefully to make sure that we don't accidentally create a relay of any
kind. We could, for example, setup an SMTPS handler, and allow PMC
members
to send via it, or alternatively, allow relaying only when the
connection
comes from p.a.o.
I see no reason to object to this proposal. If this helps give Noel
extra confidence in the codebase and it does not create extra burden
on other committers, why say anything but "sounds great"?
"extra confidence" :-)
Sounds great, but going into testing with TRUNK essentially was proposed
for month. Now someone who torpedoed this approach and repeatedly said:
"Don't even look at this code" reiterates this. That really makes me
happy, but it sounded great to me months ago already.
Now let's get this zone up and running.
Maybe Norman can fill us in about when new zones will be available.
IIRC, at ApacheCon he said that the machine hosting the zones needs
upgrades before new zones can be added.

What domain can we host for the tests?
If we don't make this test installation the default MX for some domain
and we don't use some email address in public messages I don't expect
botnets to hit us so fast. Any ideas?
