Just go straight ahead. XMail does not differ from any ohter SMTP or POP server concerning webmail as long as you access its data by SMTP and POP3 protocol.

Every generic .jsp solution should work with XMail.

I read the class in detail for the XPAI webmail and I like the idea of the class. I have question that "telnet localhost 6017".

As you see it is telnet into xmail thought 6017 and call the command. Anyone know how to "telnet" using JSP?

In Php, there is a function like.
//connection to Xmail
$fp = fsockopen($this->xm_ip, $this->xm_port, $errno, $this->xm_err_msg, 10);

I think after I can succefully telnet and connect to Xmail using JSP. the rest will be easy since it just execute command and rerturn the result.

Thanks

As far as I know, JSP does not support raw sockets. You need to access'em in another language.

I found the following code in my archive. Looks like all that you need.

QUOTE

// tcpClient.java

// usage : java tcpClient <server> <port>
// default port is 1500

import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;

public class tcpClient {

public static void main(String[] args) {

int port = 1500;
String server = "localhost";
Socket socket = null;
String lineToBeSent;
BufferedReader input;
PrintWriter output;
int ERROR = 1;

// read arguments
if(args.length == 2) {
server = args[0];
try {
port = Integer.parseInt(args[1]);
}
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("server port = 1500 (default)");
port = 1500;
}
}

// connect to server
try {
socket = new Socket(server, port);
System.out.println("Connected with server " +
socket.getInetAddress() +
":" + socket.getPort());
}
catch (UnknownHostException e) {
System.out.println(e);
System.exit(ERROR);
}
catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e);
System.exit(ERROR);
}

try {
input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
output = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(),true);

// get user input and transmit it to server
while(true) {
lineToBeSent = input.readLine();
// stop if input line is "."
if(lineToBeSent.equals(".")) break;
output.println(lineToBeSent);
}
}
catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}

try {
socket.close();
}
catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
}
}

Hi there,

sorry for intruding on the thread,

but I saw this sometime ago:

http://openwebmail.com/openwebmail/

does it work for xmail?

I read a bit of the site and only mentions sendmail and qpopper.

it looks like a neat to access my mail via web interface.
