James - Java Mail Server

I would really appreciate any help or support from the forum on the
follwing queries.
I am presently developing an application using the James Mail Server,
however after initially setting it up to recieve mail on a local machine
using pop3, I am not able to find any documentation on it's support for
creating other folders like a 'sent' or even 'trash folder'.
[II]
If it is possible to create other folders in James i.e. a 'trash' folder,
how would one delete mail so as to:
(a)Relocate the message from an inbox folder to another folder i.e.
'trash' folder and
(b) completely delete it from the server?

Get rid of the j2ee jar file.

URGENT! PLS HELP... using JAMES as mail server

hi, first of all... happy new year to everyone...
i am currently developing a web based application and one of the component in the system is using JAMES as mail server. I am done some modification in config.xml in JAMES, now the problem is i can only send internal mails instead of external one, such as hotmail and yahoo.
The error occurs as below:-
RemoteDelivery: Exception delivering message (Mail1041375079561-0-!448616653-to-hotmail.com) - Could not connect to SMTP host: hotmail.com, port: 25
How can i send mails to hotmail and yahoo users or any other external mail?
Can anyone pls help me to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

sounds like a network problem rather than a JAMES problem. Have you confirmed that you can ping the hotmail mail server, and then that you can "telnet" in to it on port 25?
If you have a windows machine handy, you can find out the IP address of hotmail's primary mail server by using nslookup:
C:\>nslookup
set type=MX
hotmail.comIf you don't get anything from this, it would indicate a DNS problem. Once you have the IP address, try to telnet to it on port 25:
C:\>telnet 65.54.254.129 25
Here's what I got...
220 mc1-f3.law16.hotmail.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 5.0.2195.5600 ready at Wed, 1 Jan 2003 21:19:03 -0800
If you aren't able to connect, it's probably either a firewall at your end blocking outbound TCP traffic on port 25 (or possibly all ports), or a DNS issue, or some sort of routing issue with your ISP

Java Mail Server

Is there a way to write a POP and SMTP server with java?

Java? Yes, and several people have done so. See the [JavaMail FAQ|http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/FAQ.html] and [Third Party Products|http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/Third_Party.html] list.
JavaMail? Only sort of.

James Mail Server Password Encoding From PHP

Hi,
I am writing a PHP website server administration component for the MYSQL database used by James Mail server.
When I encode the password in PHP using MD5, Crypt, SHA, SHA1 or use MSQL encoding functions (MD5 or SHA) when I try to send mail to the Java server it keeps telling me "ERROR smtpserver: AUTH method LOGIN failed".
1)In PHP what encoding should I use so the JavaMail API can encode the authentication the same way?
2) If I want to use no encoding what code do I put in the pwdAlgorithm field?
PHP Version 5.2.6
Apache 2.0 Handler
James 2.3.1

Jaco

This is a interaction with Java thus who better to ask then the people that work with JavaMail password encryption all the time.
What I am trying to solve is to find out the encryption format of James. Does James encrypt the passwords itself when a new mailbox is created or JavaMail's security class?
You will notice my second question is what code does james or javamail use when no encryption is used. (e.g. pwdAlgorithm). This field is the MySQL field used to store the encryption type.
James still has to encrypt the password in the format which is specified to verify the password.
Thus my main question, why does PHP encoding not match James's encoding?
In PHP the same encoding format should be used.
PHP uses :
SHA1 - RFC 3174 - US Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA1)
MD5 - RSA Data Security, Inc. MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm

Can java mail be used for distributed exchange server?

H,
I am trying to connect to MS Exchange Server to read my mails using Java Mail API.
I have a questions about using it with Exchange server.
We have 6-7 exchange servers in our company and different users have mailboxes on different servers. My internet mail application will be used by everybody in the company.
But while connecting to exchange server using java mail I can only cnnnect to one server and port. What happens when user mailbox is not on that server. How can I use javamail in this scenario where user mailboxes are on separate servers??
Thanks

Free SMTP server for Java mail testing

Hi all,
Are there any free SMTP servers that can be downloaded from the Net for Java mail. Thanks.
Regards
Ram

I am sorry ..may be my question was not very clear. I do not have am SMTP host. I need an SMTP host to route emails...is that possible.
If I have an SMTP host on my machine, then it will act as a router to route messages to other email severs like yahoo or hotmail.
So the "from" will be a user from the SMTP host.i.e my machine user and the "to" will be some email "[email protected]" or "[email protected]".
Is it posssible to route emails directly to any Yahoo or hotmail server using just java mail client?
Thanks
Regards
RP

Is there any technique to ask Java to connect to mail server?

The Problem is: I would like to use Java Technique to create some mail account on one mail server!

You can use the JavaMail api to send and receive email but not for creating accounts... AFAIK creating a mail account is not standardized in any RFC and depends very much on your mail server.

Java Mail to Yahoo server

How will I send mail to Yahoo mail id using java Mail api. I have used smtp.mail.yahoo.com as smtp server. Remember that I should not use my password.
If possible reply to mail id.
[email protected]
Thanks in advance.

Try this code:
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import javax.activation.*;
public class AttachExample {
public static void main (String args[]) throws Exception {
String host = args[0];
String from = args[1];
String to = args[2];
String filename = args[3];
// Get system properties
Properties props = System.getProperties();
// Setup mail server
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
props.put("mail.smtp.user", from);
// Get session
Session session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
// Define message
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
new InternetAddress(to));
message.setSubject("Hello JavaMail Attachment");
// Create the message part
BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
// Fill the message
messageBodyPart.setText("Here's the file");
// Create a Multipart
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
// Add part one
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// Part two is attachment
// Create second body part
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
// Get the attachment
DataSource source = new FileDataSource(filename);
// Set the data handler to the attachment
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
// Set the filename
messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename);
// Add part two
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// Put parts in message
message.setContent(multipart);
// Send the message
Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
transport.send(message);
When running the program type this line:
java AttachExample smtp.mail.yahoo.com email_address_from email_address_to filename
Be sure to turn your yahoo account to pop messages other than the browser.Just go to Options & click on the pop accounts & set it.
Take care

The debug output doesn't show an obvious problem. You're
going to have to actually debug your program. A debugger

Sending Mail Via James Mail Server

Is it possible to send mail to other domains like hotmail,yahoo,wipro etc from James Mail Server.

Yes ofcourse its possible. James is a fully functional mail server. The easiest way to do it is to use James as POP server & configure a mail client like Outlook to send it using the POP server.
Cheers
Rajesh
