Review: James: The Java Apache Mail Enterprise Server:

Getting Started

Download and Installation

The most recent stable version of James (v2.2.0) is available from the James Web site. As with most open source projects, you have a choice of downloading the full source code (and compiling it yourself), or downloading the binary code in either .zip or .tar formats. If you're serious about e-mail, you may want a few additional downloads—namely, the JavaMail 1.3 API, the JavaBeans Application Framework (JAF) 1.0.5, and Apache Ant 1.6.5.

Before starting James for the first time, you should set your JAVA_HOME environment variable to the directory where you installed the JDK, e.g.,


set JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.5.0_04

Starting the Server

Start James by executing one of the command line utilities in James's bin subdirectory:
  • run.bat (Windows)
  • wrapper.exe -c ..\conf\wrapper.conf (Windows)
  • run.sh (UNIX)
The wrapper utility includes options for installing/removing the server as an NT service.

When you start James for the very first time, it unpacks the contents of the james.sar file and stores the contents in the james-2.2.0/apps directory. Server Administration.

Administer the James server through its Remote Administration Tool. Access the tool by telnetting to port 4555:


telnet localhost 4555
When it starts, the Remote Administration Tool prompts you for authentication. The default userID is root and the default password is root.

After logging on, you can perform common administrative server tasks such as adding/modifying/deleting user accounts. You can obtain the list of available commands by typing the command, help.

Adding Users

You can easily add users with the Remote Administration Tool's adduser command:

adduser alan 5ibgm8pn
adduser barry f3qaid37
adduser carol z9oxzfva
adduser diane bwwvh002
The first parameter is the userID and the second parameter is the password.

Stopping the Server

You can stop the James server by typing CTRL-C in the original run.bat or run.sh window. When you type CTRL-C, you see a nasty-looking "JVM exiting abnormally" message. So it's better to stop the server with the Remote Administration Tool's shutdown command.
