             Summary: Remove SSL support in James
                 Key: JAMES-3215
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-3215
             Project: James Server
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: David Leangen


SSL support is not working [1], and it complicates the installation process. It causes the inclusion of various libraries, and Java suuuuuucks for SSL support.

It would make James a lot simpler to remove SSL support and make SSL termination somebody else's problem. These days it should be easy to use a proxy (like nginx) or an ingress (for example in Kubernetes) to perform SSL termination.

It would be one less thing to maintain in James, one less thing that can go wrong, one less step to take just to get a James server working, and a step closer to providing good user support.
