Yes, you can use James for that.

See this thread and maybe others on the mailing list archive: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/james-server-user/201103.mbox/%3Cop.vsh7qfzz8335lu@localhost%3E See documentation: http://james.apache.org/server/3/index.html > Third Question: Is there any documentation for building James in eclipse? This one is kind of old: http://james.apache.org/server/3/dev-build.html , James App is a project that builds the war and the zip available for distribution. It depends on all other artifacts and downloads them from a repository (remote or local).
