By way of an update, I am still actively working on the refactoring our
distributed locking to use JCluster instead of JGroups so that it can be
included with James.  I have been working with Rob Block on getting the
JCluster API to a usable state which has taken more time and energy than
I had anticipated.  My goal is to have a patch ready for submission to
the James project within the next 4 or 5 days.

Also along the lines of high availability, we are successfully using
James with C-JDBC to provide automatic DB failover and DB
load-balancing.  Our current James configuration has no single point of
failure with automatic fail-over as well as load-balancing for SMTP so
we can add additional nodes to our James cluster.  We plan to contribute
all of our changes back to the James project.

-Mike
