Hi there,
I am into a project on web-based mail. The development platform is on java and the intended deployment platform is Solaris SPARC. As a rule writing mail clients in java has been made easy using the well-documented Javamail API. When it comes to programmatically taking control over your mail server, I guess I’m lost.
I would like to know, how can I get my hands on a mail server and the API support to implement it. Sendmail on a Solaris seemed to be a good choice of a mail server but I just could not find the necessary document to use it bundled with my program. Now I keep wondering if I’m on the right path. I would like to know, what the usual practice is when writing a web based mail application.
I need all the help I can get to help me select a mailserver along with API. And incase you feel that I’m heading in the wrong direction please let me know.
Thanks a Zillion in Advance.
With Regards,
Anil Oommen.
