Hi Phil,
James is started with a spring context (see [1]).
You could start with your own class and launch there your watchdog
thread (it can be opening a socket to the downstream mta).
Once the mta down event is generated, you could call stop() and also
hook in the JamesServerApplicationContext to override the doClose method
to take any action you would like.
More elaborated, you could also simply disable the SMTPServer leaving
all the james operational. Once the downstream mta up event is detected
by the internal watchdog, you could re-enable the SMTPServer by code.
Thx
Eric

I have a James Server instance that sits between two other MTAs and all is
working very nicely
However I now need to take the James server offline if the downstream MTA is
offline (the upstream server will then look for alternate means of delivery)
I could just create an external watchdog process but I wonder if there is a
more elegant way of handling this with James itself
Any suggestions would be much appreciated
Phil
