Basic message transport through James

[Jerry Crone <Je...@weblinkwireless.com>]

I recently compiled James, Phoenix, et al using TowerJ (3004 classes). I
noticed on the runtime report that there were 44 threads. Since the
thread group is set to 40, I assume that the 10 for JamesSpoolManager
are included in those. What are the remainder used for? Bringing
messages from the socket connections to the spool? I also have POP3 and
NNTP running, although I am not using them now.

Do all the processors use the (same) spool repository?

What classes/methods are used to get a message from the socket to being
deposited on the spool?

If these questions have already been answered, please point me to them.

Thanks, Jerry Crone
