Contributing a mailet

[Br...@nokia.com]

Hello,

I am starting an effort to create an anti-spam mailet for James.  I would like to contribute it to the Apache James project when it is complete.  Therefore I want to make sure that (a) It will be accepted as a contribution, (b) It is fully compliant with the standards, and (c) It is absolutely 100% public domain and cannot be subverted and used for commercial products or its design principles stolen and placed in somebody else's patent (so it will probably need to be GPL or something even stronger). 

Are there any formal procedures that I have to follow to accomplish the above?

In case I am asking for something in the docs, I am totally new to James and I have only read some of all the available documentation, so far.  I plan to read it all next week.

Thanks,

Bruno Melloni

Can you provide more details on what kind of anti-spam mailet?

Follow the sample mailets in the source distribution, keep the code clean
and documented.

This will not be acceptable, and will require us to reject your code.
Please see http://www.apache.org/licenses/.  ASF software projects must be
licensed using the Apache Software License, and can be used for any purpose,
including commercial.  Furthermore, "public domain" and GPL are not
compatible.
