<section name="What is it?">
- <p>The Apache Java Enterprise Mail Server (a.k.a. Apache James) is a
100% pure <b>Java SMTP and POP3 Mail server and NNTP News server</b>. We have
designed James to be a complete and portable enterprise mail engine solution
based on currently available open protocols. </p>
- <p>James is also a <i>mail application platform</i>. We have developed
a Java API to let you write Java code to process emails that we call the mailet
API. A <b>mailet</b> can generate an automatic reply, update a database,
prevent spam, build a message archive, or whatever you can imagine. A
<b>matcher</b> determines whether your mailet should process an email in the
server. The James project hosts the Mailet API, and James provides an
implementation of this mail application platform API.</p>
- <p>James is based upon the Apache Avalon application framework, formerly
a product of the Apache Avalon project (see "news" below).</p>
- <p>James requires Java 1.4 (For further information you may want to
search the web, our <a
href="http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/";>dev</a> and <a
href="http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/";>user</a> mail
archives or our <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/james";>wiki</a>).</p>
