A firewall.  Clearly this isn't going to work for everyone.  The default
James config could still have the JMX remoting disabled by default.

I agree. James is heavily dependent on the container.  I'd like to take
a look at Merlin's JMX features but I'm working with the 2.x branch of
James which does not have the Component/Service change which means I
cannot use it with Merlin.
