I have to dissent from that.

I'm a long time unix user and did investigate James maybe  3 years ago on linux; I'm also a java programmer, so I did have to  take a look. I stuck with my  exim4/dovecot solution, at least one reason being that the devils you know (almost 25 years of experience) are better than the devil you don't.

But there is no reason I know that you cannot dispense with sendmail/exim4/postfix on unix and run james. I would expect your setup on windows would need no or minimal changes. So you have the same james/java on a much improved base - linux/unix > windows (by a very long way)

My email howto might be of interest, I can't check the url as I'm in a public library that blocks part of my domain, but I think:
