James

Home Page

Categories: Internet and communications

Author: Apache Jakarta

Latest version: 2.2.0
Added 2005-04-06

The Apache Java Enterprise Mail Server (a.k.a. Apache James) is a 100% pure Java SMTP and POP3 Mail server and NNTP News server. James is designed to be a complete and portable enterprise mail engine solution based on currently available open protocols.

James is also a mail application platform. A Java API is developed to let you write Java code to process emails called the mailet API. A mailet can generate an automatic reply, update a database, prevent spam, build a message archive, or whatever you can imagine. A matcher determines whether the mailet should process an email in the server. The James project hosts the Mailet API, and James provides an implementation of this mail application platform API.

James is based upon the Apache Avalon application framework, formerly a product of the Apache Avalon project.

James requires Java 1.4
