Hi all,

I was reading the Mailet vs Procmail page on the James Wiki
http://wiki.apache.org/james/MailetVsProcmail

and had the following question :-

When using procmail if you have to do anything other than header match + file/forward then you pipe to a custom script. This spawns a copy of the script interpreter ( perl, python, ... ) per message. So if you need to do anything useful it is quite expensive. But using Mailets each message is handled by a thread and so even if JavaMail is expensive it is probably less expensive than spawning an interpreter per message. Is that correct or am I missing something ?
