Which james version to use

Hi,
I've currently got one mail server running james 2.1.3 (albeit a slightly
customised version).

I've got to set up a second server, so do i stick with 2.1.3, or do i go for
2.2.0 rc4?

My only hesitation is because 2.1.3 has been 100% stable for me, and i have
seen loads of errors  on the list regarding 2.2.0!

Thanks for any thought,

Daniel.

Looked at what has been fixed in James 2.2.0 that was broken in James 2.1.3.

My take would be that most of the issues related to the James 2.2.0 release
condidates related to reducing the use of Java's InetAddress lookup because
it fails to properly implement DNS TTL, and we had to code around
differences between how dnsjava treats ill-behaved DNS configurations (there
are far too many of them in the real-world); and expanding JDBC coverage.
But consider something like http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-282.
That bug has been around forever, but it wasn't reported until recently.

I recently move from 2.1.3 and don't have any problems.  I'd recommend
merging the old config into the new one rather than the other way around.
OTOH if you can wait, maybe the release will come out this week.
