JAMES support for Que or Time Based Scheduling ???

[Taimur Awan <ta...@hotmail.com>]

Hi there,
I am new to JAMES server developer list.
I just wanted to know whether JAMES supports Que or Time based 
scheduling.Means JAMES spool manager will block the mails in spool 
repository and will deliver the mails when the no of mails reach the 
specified limit. Similarly in the case of Time scheduling Spool manager will 
deliver the mails after the specified time period rather then delivering the 
mails as it comes.

Taimur.

Currently the only (re-)scheduling is internal to RemoteDelivery.  I have
been working on a change that moves that behavior into a generic base class.
In so doing, it has occured to me that the entire process could be pushed
out of the target mailet back into the processor.  Which is interesting
because a processor used to just be a type of Mailet.

The upshot of the change would allow any matcher/mailet to be scheduled for
retry if it were able to indicate that state.  This would be immediately
useful in certain cases, such as DNS checks.

That change is something I'll discuss for v3 when we look at the whole
spooler interface.  Meanwhile, there are immediate uses for a generic base
class.  And the way you would handle future time would be to post object
into the queue with a future time already encoded for the AcceptFilter.
