71<p>Mailjam has been designed following a <strong>multi-component structure</strong>. There is
72<strong>a daemon</strong> that manage the mailing lists and members information in a storage
73backend and there are <strong>different kinds of clients</strong> (currently, three of them)
74that <strong>interact with the daemon using a XMLRPC link</strong>.</p>
75<p>This is the scheme of the architecture:</p>

79<span id="overview-mailjam-daemon"></span><h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id3">Mailjam daemon</a><a class="headerlink" href="#mailjam-daemon" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
80<p>The daemon will perform all the operations regarding the management of the
81mailing lists and members. The daemon will save information of a given
82mailing list to the storage backend, and will read information of already
83saved lists from there too.</p>
84<p>It listens for incoming XMLRPC requests on a given tcp port, allowing clients
85to add/update/delete data from the backend.</p>

89<p>This client is attached to a given MTA, and is called but the MTA itself when
90emails for a mailing lists are received. The client performs some checks on the
91backend to tell the MTA what it has to do with the incoming emails.</p>

95<p>This is a shell-like interface that can be used to add mailing lists to a given
96Mailjam server, edit such mailing lists information, add members, etc.</p>

100<p>This is a small <em>webapp</em> that can be used to perform the same management
101operations you can achieve using the
