Folks,

I finally have the library in a fairly usable (or shall I rather say 
testable) state. I can now send messages to the postfix daemon using my 
SMTP client transport and have the messages passed onto the local LMTP 
agent based on the same transport code for local delivery.

In essence I have a reasonably complete SMTP/LMTP transport library that 
implements RFC 2821 (minimum implementation), RFC 2033, plus a number of 
extensions required by LMTP: RFC 2034 (ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES), RFC 1854 
(PIPELINING), RFC 1652 (8BITMIME).

The code is still very experimental but good enough for getting the feel 
of the API.

Here's the sample of the LMTP transfer agent

http://code.google.com/p/lightmtp/source/browse/trunk/src/examples/java/com/ok2c/lightmtp/examples/LocalMailServerTransportExample.java

Envelop validation / message delivery can be fully asynchronous. Long 
running processes such as DB or LDAP queries can be executed without 
blocking the I/O transport.

The client side transport can either be event (callback) driven

http://code.google.com/p/lightmtp/source/browse/trunk/src/examples/java/com/ok2c/lightmtp/examples/LocalMailClientTransportExample.java

or future driven

http://code.google.com/p/lightmtp/source/browse/trunk/src/examples/java/com/ok2c/lightmtp/examples/MailUserAgentExample.java
http://code.google.com/p/lightmtp/source/browse/trunk/src/examples/java/com/ok2c/lightmtp/examples/SendMailExample.java

The mail user agent can maintain a pool of persistent connections that 
can be reused for subsequent delivery requests.

The NIO framework is basically a fork of Apache HttpCore with all HTTP 
dependencies removed.

http://code.google.com/p/lightnio/

You would have to get the latest snapshots of both libraries in order to 
run samples.

I developed this code for my private use. If you do not think this is 
something that can be potentially useful for a larger user base, just 
ignore my message.

Cheers

Oleg

That would truly be the best case scenario, but I doubt this can be done 
without a significant loss of efficiency. I was not able to do that for 
our HTTP transport. It is worth a try, though.

Anyhow, feel free to re-use whatever bits of my code you may find useful.

I would be so happy to deprecate my stuff in favor of something backed 
by a larger community.

Too many NIO frameworks.. it's time for commons-nio or sniof4j ;-)

Hi Oleg,

no need to be sorry ;) Anyway I thought more of writing lmtp protocol
implementation which not depends on any nio framework directly. Just
like the smtp-protocol-library (in james server trunk). The protocol
should be independent of the transport. So the protocol should be
usable with "every" transport framework.

So at the moment we have a mina-socket-library but the
smtp-protocol-library would also work with (for example)
lightnio-socket-library ;)

Hi Norman

I am sorry to say what I am about to say, but, if using MINA, no, there 
would be no interest on my part. I took a very close look at MINA 
internals some time ago, and while there were some really great design 
ideas in MINA, I personally found its memory management flawed to a 
point making it unsuitable for data intensive protocols, such as HTTP 
and SMTP. This is one of the reasons why we opted for writing our own 
NIO framework for HttpCore. There were other reasons as well.

Having written a NIO framework of my own, I fully admit being biased 
about the issue, though.

Sorry.

Oleg
