Looking for help to get started with mailets
Hello:
I'm using James3 in production. I'm interested in reducing the amount
of spam my server is receiving.
I'm interested in using some standard mailets or building some to be
able to do greylisting.
I'm confused as to where the standard mailets are located. Also I see
references to a Mailet container. What is this?
Is the mailet container something that is completely separate from the
James server?
I also see references to Apache James Mailet,and Apache James Mailet Base
Base but I cannot find any definitions of those terms.
Could someone help me get a foothold on the components that I will need
to get started.
Thank you.
This is a cool product. I want to get involved with the project to help.

Hi Lee,
You can read more on configuration against spam on
https://james.apache.org/server/3/config-antispam.html
Your help will be appreciated, like for example better documenting on
that page based on your experience.

Which version of James are you using? James beta 4 is the listed version on the web site but beta 5 is available and has a bunch of changes from beta 4.
I am using beta 5 and the configuration for mailets is in ./conf/mailetcontainer.xml.
The available documentation can be found here:
http://james.apache.org/mailet/standard/mailet-report.html
Just an additional thought I would also check whether your server is configured to comply with RFC standards for spam prevention:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-spam_techniques#Enforcing_RFC_standards
HELO/EHLO checking, greeting delay, and greylisting are a good base of measures to employ as many spambot programs can’t cope with them. If you already have those measures set up and are still getting lots of spam, maybe it’s time to configure Spamassassin.
James beta 5 has a Spamassassin handler. I don’t know about beta4.
