[Helma-user] working with mail server and auto email processing

[Julian Tree]

Thanks tobi for the links.

javax.mail work as a mail client.  I looked at the the links and  
http://www.ericdaugherty.com/java/mailserver/ seems simple and  
interesting. I am going to digg a little further.

I could also just have Postfix pass the email to Procmail and then  
invoke helma via commandline, but I was hopping for a intergrated  
solution where I can add/delete/modify email users using some kind of  
Java API, then I will be able to better manipulate the the mail  
server from within helma.
