James as a backend to programmaticaly send mail

[Joerg Erdmenger <jo...@woerd.com>]

Hi,

I'm currently investigating ways to send mail and deal with bounces properly. 
(Don't worry, I'm not trying to create the ultimate SPAM toy). 
So I have a webapplication which manages a closed user group and maintenance 
and templating of content. Now I want to send out that content to the 
potentially large group of registered users and I thought maybe James would 
be ideal for that Job. Now I found plenty of information to use James to 
replace a different mailserver but none on how to use it as an email sending 
tool. I mean I need to be able to talk to it, inserting new messages in its 
queue programmatically. Then a Mailet could notify my application of bounces.
Is that possible? Is there some documentation that I've overlooked?

Thanks

Joerg

P.S.: I really don't built SPAM tools

Hi,

Just send the mail to your james server with smtp and make sure it can 
be identified and handled by the processing chain.

If you send the same content to all recipients, I would think that the 
mailing-list mailets in james would work fine. There should be more info 
about this in the wiki and the archives.

If not the same content, create a mailet that does what you need. (you 
could probably base it on mailing-list functionality and just add your 
extras).
