Perform a Install.

Users

• Open the apps/james/SAR-INF/config.xml file and find the port used for remote management and the administrator account details:

  <remotemanager enabled="true">
     <port>4555</port>
     <handler>
        <helloName autodetect="true">myMailServer</helloName>
        <administrator_accounts>
           <account login="root" password="root"/>
        </administrator_accounts>
  

• telnet to the remote management console:

  telnet localhost 4555
  

• Login and add users using the adduser command. When finished type quit. Here is a sample session where we add the users janet, john and switch:

  JAMES Remote Administration Tool 2.3.1
  Please enter your login and password
  Login id:
  root
  Password:
  root
  Welcome root. HELP for a list of commands
  adduser janet password
  User janet added
  adduser john password
  User john added
  adduser switch password
  User switch added
  listusers
  Existing accounts 3
  user: janet
  user: john
  user: switch
  quit
  

  Note: To list all users:

  listusers
  

• Re-start the mail server.

Specific Configurations

Drop Folder

This configuration, misc/config.xml:

<spoolmanager>
   <threads> 10 </threads>
   <processor name="root">
     <mailet match="HostIsLocal" class="ToMultiRepository">
       <repositoryUrl>file:///C:/repository/james/drop/</repositoryUrl>
       <addDeliveryHeader>Comments: Processed by Apache James</addDeliveryHeader>
       <repositoryType>MAIL</repositoryType>
     </mailet>
   </processor>

…will drop messages into a separate folder for each user below:

C:\repository\james\drop\

• I don’t think the user has to be created on the system.

Diagnostics

The best log to check is the mailet... file e.g:

apps\james\logs\mailet-2008-05-15-11-44.log
