Introduction

Java Mail Server is a Java SMTP and POP3 e-mail server. This project was inspired by and based on the CRSMail project written by Calvin Smith. This project exists for everyone who is interested in running their own email server quickly and easily.

Current Version

The current version of Java Email Server is now hosted at here (at SourceForge). Please refer to that page for all release information and documentation regarding the current version.

For more information on the change, read this blog post.

1.x Version

This page continues to host the 1.x development branch, which is in Maintenance Mode.

The goal of JES is to provide an easy to use and reliable email server that can be quickly and easily setup. JES attempts to provide a powerful server using the minimal number of configuration settings and project size.

Using JES as a testing tool? There is now an Eclipse Plug-In for JES. It allows you to start, stop, and configure JES from Eclipse.

If you are ready to start using JES, please see the Download and Install sections below for instructions on downloading and configuration JES. The binary release, and the source code are available for download from the Download section.

Version 1.x is licensed under the GNU General Public License.

You can email me at eric@ericdaugherty.com for 1.x related questions.
