[opencms-dev] integration of James in OpenCMS

[Nicolas Delsaux]

Hi, I would like to integrate mailing list to my web site. So far, I have 
not been able to find any related OpenCMS module.
So, I'm planning now to use Apache James, since it provides POP/SMTP plus 
NNTP protocols, and easy way to create mailing list with archive.
But I fear that for integrating it fully to OpenCMS, I will have to create 
a specific module. And since I'm quite new to OpenCMS, the effort seems to 
me quite important, for some reasons :
 - I'll have to manage archives in databse, associated to the OpenCMS 
database, I do not have any idea on how they will cooperate.
 - This module will have to make a brodgiebetween the OpenCMS web app and 
the James mail server, and I don't know how to do.
 - Isn't it a little weird to provide a CMS product without any mailing 
list management ? I'v already tried Lutece (french Open source product, far 
less usable than OpenCMS) and it provides this kind of things (bad, in 
fact, but it does). Is there any support planned for OpenCMS ?
