Key: GERONIMO-3427
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-3427
Project: Geronimo
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: public (Regular issues)
Components: mail
Affects Versions: 1.1.x, 1.2, 2.0.x
Reporter: Rick McGuire
Assignee: Rick McGuire
>From the user list description:
I am trying to use the Geronimo Javamail. I have setup the resource and
resource-ref stuff and try to send a mail from the application. I turn off
the debug flag and see the following in the console:-
...
220-xxx.xxx.xxx ESMTP Exim x.xx #1 Mon, 20 Aug 2007 16:29:11 +0800
EHLO xxxxx
220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicted,
HELO xxxxx
220 and/or bulk email.
...
An exception is then thrown complaining that it fails to send HELO to the
server.
When using telnet xxxx 25 to my SMTP server, I found out that once
connected, the SMTP is sending back three lines of text:-
220-xxx.xxx.xxx ESMTP Exim x.xx #1 Mon, 20 Aug 2007 16:29:11 +0800
220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicted,
220 and/or bulk email.
I then try with a local SMTP using Apache JAMES, which successfully send the
mail. When I try to telnet localhost 25, it is sending back only one line
of text:-
220 xxxx SMTP Server (JAMES SMTP Server 2.3.1) ready Mon, 20 Aug 2007
16:32:26 +0800 (SGT)
I am suspecting Geronimo Javamail implementation (version 1.1.1) cannot be
used on SMTP who sends back more than 1 lines of 220 service ready. I
investigate the source code of
org.apache.geronimo.javamail.transport.smtp.SMTPTransport and study that
getReply() method is using the receiveLine() method to read response from
the server. As receivedLine() is using end of stream (read() ==-1) or CR or
LF to indicate end of response from server, so in the above scenario each
220 are identified as a response from the server. After receiving the first
220, the client send a EHLO but fails as the server is sending back the 2nd
220. The client then try to send a HELO but receive the 3rd 220, which it
finally gave up and throw a fails to send HELO exception.
I have switch to Sun Javamail implementation to solve the problem. However,
I personally prefer to use Geronimo implementation due to installation
issue. Is there a better way, or is it in the later version (Geronimo 1.2,
2.0, I didn't try :P), the Geronimo Javamail can handle SMTP that sends
more than 1 lines of 220 back to client (like the SMTP server that I am
facing)?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Best Regards,
Chee Seng
