The current decision is to use the webapp deployment for our production environments. If we use it in production, we will support it. We have a commitment of deploying some of our own development to the community version. Things like bug fixing, spam handling, mail handling at protocol level, and so on. But we will still have closed source (which should be the main part of my working hours, I think). And, as yours, my working hours are limited. Just another restriction... ;-) Greetings, Bernd Waibel -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Matthieu Baechler [mailto:mbaech...@linagora.com] Gesendet: Montag, 25.

We are writing a proposal about what we would like to see in James 3.0, you can find it here : https://github.com/apache/james-project/pull/42 Comments (and help, of course) are welcome. If you want the War deployment to be supported, maybe you can offer some help ? I personally prefer a jar deployment with the http server built in. Security fix are more likely happening in anything but jetty nowadays so making a specific case just for the servlet container seems to complicated to me.
