Downloading the Apache JAMES Mail Server

Use the links below to download the Apache JAMES Mail Server from one of our mirrors. You must verify the integrity of the downloaded files using signatures downloaded from our main distribution directory.

Only current recommended releases are available on the main distribution site and its mirrors. Older releases are available from the archive download site.

Mirror

The currently selected mirror is http://download.filehat.com/apache. If you encounter a problem with this mirror, please select another mirror. If all mirrors are failing, there are backup mirrors (at the end of the mirrors list) that should be available.

Apache JAMES 2.3.1 is the best available version

This release has many enhancements and bug fixes over the previous release. See the Change Log for a detailed list of changes. Some of the earlier defects could turn a JAMES mail server into an Open Relay. All users of JAMES Server are urged to upgrade to version v2.3.1 as soon as possible.

Apache JAMES 2.3.0 is the previous release

Apache Mime4J 0.3

Apache JAMES jSPF 0.9.6 is the latest jSPF stable version

Verify the integrity of the files

It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded files using the PGP or MD5 signatures. The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First download the KEYS as well as the asc signature file for the particular distribution. Make sure you get these files from the main distribution directory, rather than from a mirror. Then verify the signatures using % pgpk -a KEYS

% pgpv james-version.tar.gz.asc

or

% pgp -ka KEYS

% pgp james-version.tar.gz.asc

or

% gpg --import KEYS

% gpg --verify james-version.tar.gz.asc

Unstable releases and Nightlies

The software listed above represents the latest Release Build available from the Apache JAMES Project. From time to time, we also make available Unstable releases. Unstable releases are announced on the General mailing list (general@james.apache.org).



The JAMES project also provides Nighly Builds: periodic snapshots during development. Generally, these are considered stable snapshots, but they have not undergone as much testing as a Release Build, nor have they been voted upon for release by the developer community. These are simply convenient test builds. Sometimes the purpose for a Nightly Build could be soliciting feedback on a specific change.
