Using tomcat to implement SMTP

[Donie Kelly <do...@tecnomen.ie>]

Hi all

Has anybody any experience of implementing the SMTP/POP/IMAP protocols using
GenericServlet class? Is it possible to do this. How can I get Tomcat to
listen on port 25/110/143 or whatever and work with these protocols?

Any pointers or help is greatly appreciated...

It's not going to work, because Tomcat is an HTTP server.

If you want to build an extensible mail server application, you might want
to look at the "James" project at Jakarta as a starting point:
