mail server - Custom mailing list system -


on our website use mysql table contains users. of users should able send mails users. unfortunately haven't got right idea how implement such system.

my current design:

  • a privileged user writes mail users@website.com using personal mail software.
  • a server waiting incoming mails.
  • as receives mail, matches 'from' field database.
    • if user not found or hasn't got special flag, discard mail.
  • forward mail users (mail addresses saved in database)
  • send sender confirmation mail.

how can implement such system? i'm not required stick programming language though c++, php or node.js preferred.

as jumping off point, imap/smtp. can, language, log email inbox, emails, read them, etc etc etc. set mailbox account users@website.com receives legitimate emails. set cron job checks inbox every 5 minutes or so. if no emails found, done. if there email there, process it, run checks against db, , send using smtp, , send confirmation user.

if handling imap hard, may want make form on website privileged users can use sends emails users.

Java sticky instances of class com.mysql.jdbc.Field aggregating -

i noticed (via jmap+jhat) app leaking storing many instances com.mysql.jdbc.field  class - double checked code make sure closing preparedstatements, find few missing didn't change outcome. - preparedstatement created , closed right away - several others created @ start , reused many times - using org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.datasource connection pool what can cause type of behavior? are closing of preparedstatements / result sets using: preparedstatement stmt (possible assignment here); try { // work prepared statement resultset rs; try { while (rs.next()) ... // process results } { rs.close(); } } { stmt.close(); } so guarantee result sets closed when finished (regardless of exceptions) , statements closed (regardless of exceptions)? there other ways write that, idea same. if you're doing of properly, unless have many references it's taking inordinate amount of memory, it's ok , nothing needs done it.
