JBoss Mail Server 1.0-M3

Please begin topics in a similar format and request that they be answered in the JBMS Forum.

Features

• Graphical Installation

• GUI installation via download or via java webstart.

• SMTP

• TLS support

• SSL support

• verify identity

• POP

• TLS support (starttls)

• SSL support (pop over SSL)

• JAAS integration

• You can use JBoss Application Server LoginModules with JBMS.

• We recommend that you use the JAAS or DatabaseServerLoginModule

• MailStore

• This is primarily an efficiency/scalability feature.  The bodies of mails can now be directly streamed into the DB.

• Databases have differing levels of blob support, therefore we provide a number of implementations of the mail store and the installer will select the appropriate one for your database.

• PagedStore - This is designed to be a generic implementation that will work with all databases.  It works by spliting up large objects and writing them as seperate rows (pages) in the database.

• Hypersonic - a simple DB to get you started and test with.  We do not recommend it for production mail servers.

• MySQL - MySQL for general usage tends to have better performance than PostgreSQL, but does not have great blob support.  We prefer PostgreSQL until MySQL's blob support improves. 

• PostgreSQLStore - PostgreSQL supplies their own non-standard LargeObjectAPI.  This store work directly with that API.

• PostgreSQL - Using the LargeObjectAPI gives the best performance for storing mail bodies.

• JDBC3Store - Uses a JDBC3 Blob to store data.  Few databases have good support for JDBC3 blobs.

• Oracle - Currently the only database tested with JDBC3 blobs, ensure that you use the latest drivers from Oracle or third parties. 

• MailListeners

• You can create your own mail listeners or use our provided mail listeners.  We do want to gain a library of UserContributedMailListeners and we hope you will attach yours here.

• Performance improvements.

• please see the release notes in README.txt with the distribution.
