Can we use some other ports higher than 1024?
Installed and working with apache james 2.3 -no probs
Using almost default settings and it starts like this:
Using PHOENIX_HOME: C:\james-2.3.0
Using PHOENIX_TMPDIR: C:\james-2.3.0\temp
Using JAVA_HOME: I:\JDK\1.4.2
Phoenix 4.2
James Mail Server 2.3.0
Remote Manager Service started plain:4555
POP3 Service started plain:110
SMTP Service started plain:25
NNTP Service started plain:119
FetchMail Disabled
But it is for my windows m/c-where I have full rights.
But when I have to port this to Sun machine-I need to test it first. I
am not a root or superuser and thus cannot use any of the ports which is
lower than 1024. So how to work?
robin:dotcom:~/james-2.3.0/bin$ ./run.sh
Using PHOENIX_HOME: /home/shaashu/james-2.3.0
Using PHOENIX_TMPDIR: /home/shaashu/james-2.3.0/temp
Using JAVA_HOME: /opt/java-1.4.2_12
Running Phoenix:
Phoenix 4.2
James Mail Server 2.3.0
Remote Manager Service started plain:4555
POP3 Service started plain:2525
SMTP Service started plain:2526
NNTP Service started plain:2527
FetchMail Disabled

I recommend running on ports higher than 1024 - you don't want to run
any application as root if you don't have to.
To get email from port 25 to your port I suggest either a firewall rule
or rinetd (http://www.boutell.com/rinetd/).
You will need root access for either the firewall change or to run
rinetd, but that is inherent to UNIX.
The only disadvantage to using rinetd is that you loose the information
about who is connecting to your server - everything appears to come from
the machine on which rinetd is running on.
Cheers
Martin

In trunk we added support for using commons daemon to start james. With
this the privileges will get dropped after binding the ports.
