JBoss as web mail server

[ilia]

Dear Sirs,

we are redesigning our web portal with Java technologies, and we are going to deploy web mail service.

can JBoss mail server do that ?

1) high load (50,000-100,000 mailboxes)
2) antivirus support
3) callback smtp checking (something like milter-sender)
4) Java API for managing smtp/pop3 things and users.

Cheers,
Ilia Chipitsine

We have not yet tested with that level of load.
We do not yet implemented antivirus checkers
I am not sure about #3. (what is that?)
#4 is available depending on which user repos you are using.

#3 is the situation when

1) You are sending letter to me
2) my smtp server sees, Uh-huh! letter seems to be From: [e-mail]
3) my smtp server opens outgoing smtp connection to mx handler of jboss.org and does a liitle conversation:

%telnet jboss.com.mail1.psmtp.com 25
Trying 64.18.4.10...
Connected to jboss.com.mail1.psmtp.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 Postini ESMTP 117 y6_1_0c7 ready. CA Business and Professions Code Section
17538.45 forbids use of this system for unsolicited electronic mail advertisemen
ts.
helo paramon.ru
250 Postini says hello back
mail from:<>
250 Ok
rcpt to:[e-mail]
250 Ok


as far as envelope-from appears to be valid, so, my smtp server say "ok" to incoming mal.

known implementation of smtp callback checking is milter-sender:

No we don't. I'm not sure its useful anyhow. Most spam I get says its from a valid domain. Now it would be possible (theoretically) to use the header to check that the ip indeed belonged to that host but no way you're achieving #1 if you do that and I'm sure it would block certain types of legitimately relayed mail (internal corporate SMTP->ISP SMTP where the internal is not accessible from the outside).
