Version 3.0.16 Professional of Caucho's Resin application server includes version 1.1
of the javamail library, which is too old to work properly with Jive Forums. This
incompatibility results in failures when trying to send mails from within
Jive Forums. No other versions of Caucho's Resin application server are
known to have this issue.
There are a few possible solutions to resolve this conflict:
- Upgrade to the newest version of Resin (recommended).
- Remove the javamail-1.1.jar file from the /lib directory and restart Resin.
- Replace the javamail-1.1.jar file in the /lib directory with the
javamail.jar file distributed with Jive Forums source distribution (v1.3.3).

On the Apple OSX JDK a number of exceptions are logged to standard error logs when
the human input verification feature is used. This feature shows an obsfucated image
on the user registration form which prevents people from automatically creating accounts
using bots. The exception on OSX is not fatal but a number of errors are printed out.
This issue has been filed with Apple as #4461015.

In order to run the embedded NNTP server under Unix/Linux, the server process must
be run as "root" so that the process can bind to port 119 (the standard NNTP port). Only
"root" can bind to ports lower than 1024 under Unix. Alternatively, you can use a port
greater than 1024, but all NNTP clients will need to be configured to use the alternate port.
