Hardening/Fixing/Robustifying Java SMTP Daemon

Contract Java programming project Programmer should have at least three years hard-core Java experience Programmer should have at least six years programming experience Programmer should have at least two years sockets (any language) programming experience programmer ideally will have SMTP protocol experience programmer must have good understanding of multithreaded environment issues Task is to take existing SMTP Daemon which currently only receives e-mail from a single vendors SMTP gateway, and harden it and test it to work with the real world Spam attacks, directory harvesting, and other Internet based attacks. Daemon should be reviewed and have JUnit tests written to check against RFC 822 compliance. Currently daemon uses [login to view URL] for output logging. Resulting daemon should be able to run for two weeks without crashing or exceptions, or without memory leaks, and without loss of e-mail messages. Results will be compared against TCP dump capture packet analysis. Coder should be able to show TCP dump capture packet analysis versus debugging output from daemon. Work will be performed on our servers, and we will provide SMTP traffic from SMTP honeypots for testing purposes. The SMTP Daemon currently forwards its messages via the Java JMS facilities, this will not change. This will be performed in a Red Hat Linux environment using CVS. This is an existing project, and existing coding conventions & company conventions must be followed and observed.
