Second mailserver (Exim) supported by jumfi

Jumfi is now supporting a second mail server. This allows developed filters to be used on both Sendmail and Exim 4.31. Exim is an opensource mailserver (http://www.exim.org) that will be supported by jumfi.

Jumfi is a project that will create a (j)ava based (u)nified (m)ailfiter (i)nterface. It will allow mail filters build in java to be applied to multiple mail servers of similar and different design. Its goal is to boost the effectiveness of developed mail filters. This will be achieved because a mail filter that is build on top of jumfi can instantly be applied to a large group of mail servers.

Building a new mail filter is as simple as creating a new java class, all that is necessary is a good mail filter concept. The technicalities of interfacing with a mail server (f.e. sendmail or Exim) are all handled by jumfi.

The second alpha version (0.2) of jumfi is released fixing bugs found in the previous release; it is available on the sourceforge project page (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jumfi/). This version supports the sendmail milter interface and Exims local_scan function on linux. Also included in this package are two sample mail filters one drops some of the commonly known hazardous mime-types, the other does nothing more than record a subset of mail headers.
