David Leangen commented on JAMES-3236:
--------------------------------------
I have *many* questions about the current configuration template. :)
I also include questions about the documentation on this page.
bq. Incoming and outgoing SMTP
Is this a technical term? Is there a spec or something that covers the
difference?
bq. Authenticated SMTP is a method of securing your SMTP server. With SMTP AUTH
enabled senders who wish to relay mail through the SMTP server (that is, send
mail that is eventually to be delivered to another SMTP server) must
authenticate themselves to Apache James Server before sending their message.
Just to be clear, does the above statement mean using the "login" command
during the SMTP session? Or does it mean something else? And how does that
login work, anyway?
{code:xml}

<smtpservers>
<smtpserver enabled="true">

<bind>0.0.0.0:25</bind>
{code}
There is no documentation for this line. What is it?
{code:xml}
<connectionBacklog>200</connectionBacklog>
{code}
{code:xml}
[snip tls for now]
{code}
What is this? I tried changing the value and setting autodetect to false, but I
could not see any difference.
{code:xml}
<helloName autodetect="true">myMailServer</helloName>
{code}
Are there any documents that describe why these are useful, and why anyone
would want to set these values?
{code:xml}
<!-- connection timeout in secconds -->
<connectiontimeout>360</connectiontimeout>
<!-- Set the maximum simultaneous incoming connections for this service
-->
<connectionLimit>0</connectionLimit>
<!-- Set the maximum simultaneous incoming connections per IP for this
service -->
<connectionLimitPerIP>0</connectionLimitPerIP>
{code}
{code:xml}
<authRequired>true</authRequired>
<authorizedAddresses>127.0.0.0/8</authorizedAddresses>
<verifyIdentity>true</verifyIdentity>
<maxmessagesize>0</maxmessagesize>
{code}
Why is this useful?
{code:xml}
<!-- This sets wether to enforce the use of HELO/EHLO salutation
before a -->
<!-- MAIL command is accepted. If unspecified, the value defaults to
true -->
<!--
<heloEhloEnforcement>true</heloEhloEnforcement>
-->
{code}
What is this for? (Also, the link is bad.)
{code:xml}
<!-- WARNING: This is Non-RFC compliant (default value: true) -->
<!-- See: http://wiki.apache.org/james/StandardsComplianceStatement -->
<!-- TODO: CHANGE TO OFFICIAL URL LATER -->
<addressBracketsEnforcement>true</addressBracketsEnforcement>
{code}
{code:xml}
<smtpGreeting>JAMES SMTP Server</smtpGreeting>
{code}
Where can I find any explanation about what a "handler chain" is? (Will ask
more questions about this later.)
{code:xml}
<!-- The configuration handler chain -->
<handlerchain>
[snip]
</handlerchain>
</smtpserver>
</smtpservers>
