Re: Minimal possible build for Spring-based version of James server

Hello Rich,

Sorry for the late reply,

Spring packaging do not allow to start the distributed server -
Cassandra/ElasticSearch.

Build instructions for the docker:
https://github.com/apache/james-project#run-james-with-guice--cassandra--rabbitmq--s3--elasticsearch

for other servers using the least amount of dependencies.

Then you likely need to assemble the Guice modules yourself in order to
get your own specific James server, answering your own very needs. My
company likely can offer support doing so.

We have had this kind of customization in the test suite:
https://github.com/apache/james-project/blob/james-project-3.5.0/mpt/impl/smtp/cassandra-rabbitmq-object-storage/src/test/java/org/apache/james/mpt/smtp/CassandraRabbitMQAwsS3SmtpTestRuleFactory.java

We have a minimal SMTP server but backed by the JPA technology:
https://github.com/apache/james-project/tree/master/server/container/guice/jpa-smtp

Cheers,

Benoit
