SMTP Protocol
Hi Folks,
I am looking for some more information in regards to the SMTP adapter. I
have a requirement where i would like the following message flow to take
place:
SMTP --> synapse --> JMS --> ESB
What i would like to do is have the adapter recieve SMTP messages from
an external sending party and transform the typical SMTP server fields
(reply-to, subject, body, etc) into a formated JMS message.
What i want to avoid is having the message delivered to a mail box and
then have the adapter check the mailbox via POP and then do the
transformation. (i dont want to manage mailboxes)
Could you let me know if this is possible?
thanks.

I also want to add that we DO already have support for POP3/IMAP. So
if you can get at the email from POP3/IMAP, then we can do this
scenario right now.

I once studied the question how to embed an SMTP adapter into a Java
application (not in the context of Axis2 though) and my conclusion was
that it is even easier with SubEthaSMTP
(http://subethasmtp.tigris.org/). However, I never implemented that.

Well we do not have a SMTP listener (so no docs yet), but what we have
are POP3 and IMAP listeners. What Paul suggested is the best approach

I guess what you are looking for is the ability for Synapse to behave as
a SMTP server and accept messages from others, and directly convert them
into JMS? This could be achieved too, by implementing a transport
listener for SMTP which injects messages into mediation, and then use
the typical capabilities of Synapse to publish to JMS

We have already discussed the idea of having an SMTP transport.

Gday Paul,
any idea on how the process would look for this? can you give me an
ascii diagram? the bit i'm trying to avoid here is having to manage
mailboxes.
so if its possible to have james be the smtp 'adapter', that would be
unreal.
thanks for the response guys!

I think if you want to an SMTP adapter in fact it has to be an SMTP

Well.. this is certainly possible.. provided you could write an SMTP
adapter to a mail server that could inject the messages into Synapse. Do
you know of any open source adapters that provide this functionality? if
so, we could use something like that if the license is compatible
