I am getting the exact same error. I am running on Apache with jServ 1b3. I
downloaded the latest ecs-1.1.jar, village.jar, jndi.jar, and mail.jar.
In general, I have followed all the install instructions. Because I am a
neophyte, I am not sure what settings I need to provide to be useful.
Oh, one apparent difference (judging from past messages) is that I am trying
to set this up on a Windows98 machine running Apache.
