org.apache.james.transport.mailets
Class RemoteDelivery

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.mailet.GenericMailet
      org.apache.james.transport.mailets.RemoteDelivery

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Runnable, Mailet, MailetConfig

public class RemoteDelivery
extends GenericMailet
implements java.lang.Runnable

Receives a MessageContainer from JamesSpoolManager and takes care of delivery the message to remote hosts. If for some reason mail can't be delivered store it in the "outgoing" Repository and set an Alarm. After the next "delayTime" the Alarm will wake the servlet that will try to send it again. After "maxRetries" the mail will be considered undeliverable and will be returned to sender. TO DO (in priority): 1. Support a gateway (a single server where all mail will be delivered) (DONE) 2. Provide better failure messages (DONE) 3. More efficiently handle numerous recipients 4. Migrate to use Phoenix for the delivery threads You really want to read the JavaMail documentation if you are working in here, and you will want to view the list of JavaMail attributes, which are documented here: http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/1.3/docs/javadocs/com/sun/mail/smtp/package-summary.html as well as other places.
