Version 3.0-M2 (Milestone 2)

Released 09 November 2010

The Java Apache Mail Enterprise Server (a.k.a. Apache James) Project is happy to announce the release of version 3.0-M2 (Milestone 2) of the Apache James server.

M2 is not only a fast corrective release on M1 (issues related to JMX security configuration on Windows platforms,...), but also contains an important number of enhancement and JIRA fixes.

For example, memory usage has been reduced thanks to optimizations on the ActiveMQ component usage (responsible for the mail spooling).

Version 3.0-M1 (Milestone 1)

Released 01 November 2010

The Java Apache Mail Enterprise Server (a.k.a. Apache James) Project is happy to announce the release of version 3.0-M1 (Milestone 1) of the Apache James server.

The Apache James Server is a 100% pure Java enterprise mail server based on open protocols. Currently supported are SMTP/LMTP, POP3, IMAP4 protocols together with several different storage solutions (relational database via JPA and JDBC, File system with MailDir, JCR Content Repsitory).

The James server also serves as a mail application platform. It hosts the Apache Mailet API, and acts has a Mailet container. This feature makes it easy to design, write, and deploy custom applications for mail processing. This modularity and ease of customization is one of James' strengths, and can allow administrators to produce powerful applications surprisingly easily.

Features for that version include enhancements to nearly every area of functionality, including full IMAP support, improved mailing list capabilities, fastfail support, SMTP API for developing own fastfail filters and the next revision of the Mailet API.

This was an exciting time in James development and we thank all contributors.

We are still actively looking for eager, capable developers to contribute to James. If you're interested in contributing to the James project, please subscribe to the James mailing lists.

Information about James can be found at the James web site at http://james.apache.org/.

Version 2.3.0a1

Released 15 February 2006

James 2.3.0a1 is "storage" compatible with 2.2.0 (It uses the same files/db formats of James 2.2.0). Configuration should be updated following this instructions. Mailets developed against 2.2.0 are not binary compatible with 2.3.0 but rebuilding mailets in 2.3.0a1 should be an easy task: just replace "Component"s with "Service"s and replace "MailStore" with "Store" and rebuild. Below are some highlights of features and changes already available:

  • Phoenix container upgraded to the latest trunk: better classpath management for mailets
  • Derby support: also made it the default storage engine
  • JavaMail 1.3.2 (not JavaMail 1.3.3 because of known bugs with Base64 encoding)
  • Upgraded dependencies to the latest known stable releases (dnsjava, excalibur components, cornerstone, etc.)
  • Removed FetchPop
  • Command pattern for SMTPServer configuration (make it easier for developers to customize fastfail)
  • Increased components granularity/flexibility: many top level components have been refactored to be more modular (look at the new assembly.xml)
  • SMTP server now supports 8BITMIME, ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES, PIPELINING
  • Introduced a few experimental S/MIME and Bayesian matcher/mailets
  • Fixed more than 40 bugs against 2.2.0
  • And much more!
