SMTPServer fastfail rewrite
Hi all,
after some very busy months I'm looking forward to spend some time
coding on JAMES. More specific on the fastfail stuff ( and some parts
of the SMTPServer ). I'm thinkin of something related to provide some
different Interfaces which allows the easy writting of costum fastfail
stuff. Something like this:
interface PostHeloListener {
Response onHelo(....);
}
interface PostMailListener {
Response onMail(....);
}
interface PostRcptListener {
Response onRcpt(....);
}
....
This handlers will then get called after the "raw" input was parsed (
to detect syntax problems etc) and allow to reject,accept,deciline
etc.
This stuff will prolly break backwards-compatibility, but I think I
(we ?) don't care to much about such stuff anymore. I think I will
start the work in a branch, because I prolly break many stuff during
work.
Any thoughts ?
Bye,
Norman
Ps: After that Is done I would like todo something similar for POP3
(and IMAP, Robert you are here ?)

i'm not concerned about breaking compatibility on trunk

IMAP's a little odd: i'm not sure how fail fast would work but a
discussion would be useful from a design perspective
