Products

The JAMES project contains many products, classified by subproject:

• JAMES Server is an advanced fully functioned integrated mail server. It is a mailet container and delegates mail processing to mailets (independent processing agents). Most of these mailets are available through products in the mailets subproject. The following protocols are supported:
  • SMTP
  • NNTP (better known as news)
  • POP3
  • IMAP (experimental)
• The Mailet subproject collects products related to mailets (mail processing components analogous to servlets). These are independent of the JAMES server and can be reused in any mailet container.
  • The Mailet API specifies mailets
  • The Mailet Basic Toolkit collects utilities and lightweight frameworks useful for developing and testing mailets
  • Standard Mailets collects general processing mailets with limited dependencies
  • Crypto Mailets collects mailets which perform cryptographic processing such as signing, encrypting, decrypting and signature verification.
• jSPF implements SPF
• Mime4J parses MIME typed documents (including - but not limited to - mail). APIs similar to DOM, SAX and pull parsers are exposed.
• jSieve implements the Sieve mail filtering language
• Postage generates mail traffic suitable for stress testing mail servers
