Re: Unable to send messages, relay denied. IMAP does work ok.
Ping? Hope I didn't get lost in all the smoke around here! Benoit, Jean, anyone with any more good ideas? Hope so, cuz I am stuck and Google just doesn't want to toss out anything useful yet..

Unable to send messages, relay denied. IMAP does work ok.
Hello Apache James mail list. Yes, I know from Google searches that getting a "relay denied" error message is a rather common experience but so far I don't have nor found a solution to this error message; when I try to send from any one of several accounts that my James server has been set up to handle. I have an older version of James version 3.4.0 which I plan to upgrade soon. I first want to upgrade my OS (OpenSuSE 15.3) and then I need to figure out what to do about the fact AFAIK that support for the maildir format has been dropped, and how do I import all of my users mail into one of the new supported mailbox providers. That said, at the moment I tried to do some reconfiguration of my Apache James 3.4.0 server and in the process I somehow screwed up James' ability to send email. And I don't know what I did wrong so now I am trying to debug it. The basic problem is that James is refusing to send emails to anyone except local users, saying relaying is denied. Sigh. I will start with showing the contents of my smtpserver.xml, with comments and sensitive information removed. (thank you Emacs!) and ask if anyone can see if I did something bad - smtpserver1 0.0.0.0:10025 200 file://conf/keystore secret org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider SunX509 smtp.mydomain.com 360 0 0 forUnauthorizedAddresses 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.10.0/128, 192.168.10.128/128 true 0 true Welcome to APACHE-JAMES SMTP Server hosted on smtp.mydomain.com smtpserver2 0.0.0.0:10465 200 file://conf/keystore secret org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider SunX509 smtp.mydomain.com 360 0 0 forUnauthorizedAddresses 127.0.0.0/24, 192.168.10.0/128, 192.168.10.128/128 false 0 true Welcome to APACHE-JAMES SMTP Server hosted on smtp.mydomain.com smtpserver3 0.0.0.0:10587 file://conf/keystore secret org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider SunX509 smtp.mydomain.com 360 0 0 forUnauthorizedAddresses 127.0.0.0/24, 192.168.10.0/128, 192.168.10.128/128false 0 true Welcome to APACHE-JAMES SMTP Server hosted on smtp.mydomain.com Thanks in advance for any and all ideas and helpful suggestions!

Hello Marc,
The Spring server is definitly not my cup of tea but I will try helping.
=> Which James release are you running exactly?
Good question! I don't see any way to get the server to report it's
exact version or other identification numbers. The cli does not document
a query for retrieving it. So the best I can report is what the package
descriptor says when I downloaded it. - james-server-app-3.4.0-SNAPSHOT
=> Just in case provide a James thread dump when the issue arise
(jstack PID)...
I placed a copy of the output on paste.opensuse.org -
https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/5888be1d6c4d
Also moder Spring versions uses Log4J 2 , whose configuration do not
follow the syntax shown here. CF
https://github.com/apache/james-project/blob/james-project-3.7.4/server/apps/spring-app/src/main/resources/log4j2.xml
Um I guess I am not following you, and am not sure what you are
recommending me to do. Are you saying that the syntax I used in the
log4j.properties file is wrong? I just took a "monkey see, monkey do"
approach when I set up the log4j.properties file using the example that
was given.
Hope it helps...
It does, again thanks for helping me, much appreciated! Marc...

Hi Benoit, and thanks a million for your reply. Yes, I have used
telnet to make a connection on both the imap and smtp ports that my

simulated sending and receiving emails by manually typing in the
appropriate commands with lots of joy! Seems to work OK when making
telnet connections just fine.
However, what I am seeing when using Thunderbird as an email client,
is that when doing something multiple times, the connection and
commands work for a little while then things freeze up. For example,
when fetching emails from the imap service, I get a few emails and
then it hangs up. Ditto for running filters, the filters run for a
bit, move a few emails, then hangs up. I don't know what the magic
is, for getting back on track reliably, either. Sometimes restarting
James and/or Thunderbird does the trick, but more often it keeps on
failing for awhile and when I come back later it is running OK again.
(again for a little while) So I would like to see what is going on
with the imap and smtp communication layer itself to see if I can get
any ideas.
I have looked at the Apache James log files also, of course, and no
joy discovering anything useful yet. One thing I do note is that only
the james-server.log and the wrapper.log files contain any
information. There are other files created, such as an imapserver.log
file, but it does not contain anything. I wonder if I have a
misconfiguration somewhere that is not allowing logging info to be
directed to these other files. I can't find any thing wrong with my
configuration files either, so for now I have set that problem aside
while I try to pursue the more serious problem of some kind of a
spotty connection issue. Maybe getting those other log files working
would provide me with the information I need to solve this?
I also see in the two log files that do contain information,
exception errors with walk-back stack traces, but those seem
unrelated to what I am doing at the time. (I get a LOT of bots doing
brute force attacks against my server and a lot of these exception
errors seem to be related to those attacks.)
I am using the Spring wiring for Apache James, and believe with log4j
logging. I will show the relevant property setting from the
log4j.properties files for the imap service. Why nothing is showing
up in the imapserver.log file is above my pay grade to grok.

messages, either from Thunderbird itself, nor in any of the log files
from the Apache James server. And the moved emails do disappears from
the Inbox folder temporarily only to reappear back in the Inbox
folder a little later. Another symptom that has show up is
Thunderbird keeps reporting that it cannot save a copy of my draft
emails while I am composing it.
So my question is, what is the best way to monitor the IMAP protocol
communication that is going on between my Thunderbird email client,
and the Apache James server? Can I capture it via the log files for
Apache James or must I learn how to use a low level network monitor
such as Wireshark? If the latter, are there any gurus around to show
me how to capture just the IMAP communication?
As always, much appreciate any thoughts and advise and thanks for
taking the time to help me! Marc C

How to monitor IMAP protocol?
Hello, After doing a bit or reorganization of where the location of installation files for Apache James, and or some updates I received from Linux OpenSuSE 15.3 x64, something broke and I am now experiencing some behavioral issues with my Thunderbird client - Thunderbird - version 91.11.0 (64-bit) Apache James - version 3.4 For example, I cannot seem to move some emails out of my Inbox folder, and put them in another sub-folder. I don't see any error messages, either from Thunderbird itself, nor in any of the log files from the Apache James server. And the moved emails do disappears from the Inbox folder temporarily only to reappear back in the Inbox folder a little later.

Re: Upgrading James, how to merge maildirs
Hi Benoit, and thank you for your response. Looking though some of the past postings on this mail list it appears top posting is the norm so I will follow suit. I have done a brief survey of the technologies you have mentioned and here are my questions back and responses to some of your observations. 1. About the Maildir implementation, I was unaware that it is being deprecated. There is no mention of that on the James website as far as I can see. Nor does the code itself inform me that MailDir is being deprecated when I configure James to use it. So in light of this, my expectation as a user was that MailDir was being supported and maintained. Sorry I don't read every thread on this email list so I missed this discussion about MailDir. I will miss MailDir, felt it was reliable and popular, and didn't rely on some external tool, such as a database server. I have found that database servers are unreliable, do not follow the KISS principal, and often difficult to migrate from one OS release to the next. But since MailDir is being deprecated, I will look into using the JPA/MySQL back end. (since I already use MySQL for other purposes, I don't want to have to learn and grok some other database server such as Derby) 2. While the IMAPSync tool you mentioned does seem like a possible way to do migrations, I have a few questions - Doesn't this method require two instances of the James email server to be running? Seems like that might be difficult to do on a single host. If I set up James on a different server, so that I can run two instances of James at the same time, it seems like I will have to move my database twice, once to a different system in either the same database configuration, or into the new database configuration, then back to the original James server with an internet facing port. Then I will have to repeat this process with the other version of James which has a database that has diverged. I don't think this will be an easy "3 minute process" as you mentioned! And that brings up another concern. will the IMAPSync process handle the merge of my two diverged databases correctly? Will this process detect and not transfer identical emails from one server to the other, or will I have a lot of double copies of emails in my new instance of James? If so, I and my users will end up with an enormous number of duplicate emails that will have to be deleted, by hand! YUCK!!! I will look forward to your reply and suggestions, but at this point I am uneasy about following your suggestion to use IMAPSync, as a means to accomplish the merge of my two variants of email databases. Thanks again in advance! Marc On 1/23/22 21:26, Benoit TELLIER wrote: Hello Marc, First and foremost, Maildir implementation is long unmaintained, and prove to be vulnerable [1]. We put great efforts to provide smooth migrations for all mailbox implementation. According to your sayings we failed to do so. If this was needed this w=shows the lack of attention the MailDir implementation did receive. We discussed a few month before to drop MailDir implementation as part of 3.7.0 release (Maildir would still be supported on 3.6.x branch). [2] I know the MailDir word is appealing as it is the de-facto implementation in most email servers and on-filesystem yet it was buggy, brittle, unmaintained, vulnerable, and thus did not keep it up with the promise in its name. SOHO/HomeOperator are invited to switch to the 0-dependency alternative which is the JPA implementation with an embedded database like derby. I recommend a clean IMAPSync to do the MailDir-JPA implementation, [3] which can be done in a matter of minutes. Might you encounter issues on this journey I would be happy to help.

Upgrading James, how to merge maildirs
Hello, I am a small SOHO/Home operator of a James server, running it on OpenSuSE 15.2 and am in the midst of trying to upgrade it from a snapshot version of 3.4 to 3.6, but before jumping that far, I downloaded and installed the released version of 3.4 thinking that upgrading from the snapshot version to 3.4 released version would be the safest first step.

I tried/attempted some obvious things such as simply copying maildir folders across from one database to the other and updating the subscription lists but that alone didn't work. So I could use some guidance and/or pointers to documentation that describes how James models, uses, and makes changes to it's maildir database. The James website does not provide much in the way of documentation nor has Google been helpful. Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me with this issue and/or provide advice.

Re: Mail list support?
Thanks Benoit, Garry for your responses and sorry for the delay in responding myself. I will be happy to take a look at the mail list code (existing and developing) as my time permits, and sharing and working with you on it. It has been awhile since I last developed some of my own mailets and matchers so I will need to get back up to speed. Before I embark on such an adventure, can you tell me if Apache James is set up to work in the Eclipse IDE? I much prefer working with an IDE rather than using stand-alone tools. If not, does anyone have Emacs set up to meet the coding standards and requirements for Apache James? If so I could use any jump start config files needed to work in either of these environments?

Mail list support?
Hello - I am still limping along with James 2.3.2 and every year or two I come back to the Apache James website to see if mail lists are supported yet with the appropriate mailets and matchers necessary, in the latest version of Apache James. And every year or two I am disappointed that the documentation for mailets and matchers has not changed and it appears that only a couple of experimental matchers are supplied as part of the standard set of mailets. Not having support for mail lists is a show stopper for me/us and for a number of other reasons I would like to upgrade our servers to the current version of James, but can't. My questions are, is mail lists feature ever going to be supported by James, if so what is the expected ETA, or should I give up on James and invest my time and energy in some other mail server? Is there undocumented support for mail lists that I don't know about? It seems weird that only a couple of matchers are supplied and even weirder still that the James team is apparently not using it's own current server to support it's own mail list for this list - server-user@james.apache.org!

Hello again, It appears that I have managed to make a bit of progress on my own since my original post. For some odd reason I got past the FileNotFound exception by changing (adding) execute permission to the directory containing the keystore file.

But I immediately hit another snag, James is not correctly applying the password to access the keystore file and throwing another exception. The smtpserver.xml is configured as follows - file:/mail/apache-james-3.4/james-server-app-3.4.0/conf/keystore mypassword org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider SunX509 To test the keystore file I executed the following command and it worked fine - quasar:/mail/apache-james-3.4/james-server-app-3.4.0/conf # keytool -list -v -keystore /mail/apache-james-3.4/james-server-app-3.4.0/conf/keystore -storetype PKCS12 -storepass mypassword The exception and stack walkback I am getting from James is shown below.

Need help with James 3.4, smtpserver, and keystore file.
Hello - I am in the process of installing the new release of James 3.4.0 and am encountering an error that doesn't make sense to me, involving the startup of the smtp service. As shown below in the exception traceback I am getting a complaint about the keystore file either not being found or getting some sort of permission denied error. The keystore file does indeed exist and there is really nothing wrong with the path or file that this error is reporting. In this particular example the keystore is a symlink to the actual keystore file. I created from LetsEncrypt wildcard certificates, and I have tried configuring the path directly to the actual keystore file with no symlinks involved and still no joy. So I suspect the "FileNotFoundException" error is misleading. quasar:/mail/apache-james-3.4/james-server-app-3.4.0/conf # ll keystore lrwxrwxrwx 1 james mail 34 Dec 23 18:47 keystore -> keystore.privateFiles/keystore.jks quasar:/mail/apache-james-3.4/james-server-app-3.4.0/conf # ll -d keystore.privateFiles drw-rw-r-- 2 james mail 4096 Dec 27 22:11 keystore.privateFiles quasar:/mail/apache-james-3.4/james-server-app-3.4.0/conf # ll keystore.privateFiles/ total 12 -rw-rw-r-- 1 james mail 4637 Dec 27 22:13 keystore.jks As for the "Permission denied" comment in the error message this is what I can report. All of the files for James, including the keystore file have their owner and group set to james:mail. Both the user james and root are part of the mail group. The file permissions are set to -rw-rw-r--. I have also experimented with other file permissions such as -rw-rw and -rw-r- with no joy. As for the password to use for accessing the keystore itself again I know that what I am specifying in the smtpserver.xml file is correct and I can test it by using the following command which will ask for the keystore password. keytool -list -v -keystore /mail/apache-james-3.4/james-server-app-3.4.0/conf/keystore So I am at a loss trying to figure out what is going wrong. I set the debug levels in the logj4.properties file to debug to see if that would produce any further helpful info, but it didn't. What follows is the exception walkback, anyone got any ideas that I can try? Thanks in advance...

Re: Android email apps seem unhappy with James
Hi Matt - > Btw: Are other clients consistent when you do changes like moving > mails around, marking mails as un/read, reply? Or are other clients > also show not-in-sync issues? Well the very fact that I am receiving and sending emails back and forth on the thread shows that James is working just fine from a Thunderbird application running on my Linux laptop! I am using STARTTLS and have used it with SSL/TLS connections so I know the keystore is working. And no problems with syncing and fetching emails. It is just the email client apps on my two Android devices that are giving me fits... And I am managing to send OK, just not fetch/receive. And both Android devices are acting the same way. I will keep poking around, take a look/search for caches etc... Thanks for the thoughts... Any one else got any ideas? Marc..

Android email apps seem unhappy with James
Hi - I started poking at this issue a few months ago and didn't find a solution so I thought I might ask again before I spend too much further time trying to resolve this issue. I am running James 3.4 (a snapshot version given to me to solve another problem) for my own SOHO nets and a few friends. Nothing big and for the most part it works fine when using it with email clients such as Thunderbird on Linux or Windows platforms. But I have a couple Android devices, a phone and a tablet and I have tried setting up a few different email clients on them all with no joy! They all seem capable of sending emails out through the smtp service of James, but I will be darned if I can get them to behave with imap. I have tried K-9, BlueMail, GMail, and the Samsung E-Mail clients. I have made the imap server connections pretty much identical to the settings I use in Thunderbird and Apple Mail and don't believe for a second that I am setting the Android apps up any different. So is there anything weird about Android that I should be aware of? BlueMail just shows me a spinning circle when I tell it to download my email from my server, K-9 does on rare occasion show me some emails but the moment I read one the rest just disappear and I can't get it to load any more or re-display the ones that it did manage to download for a short time. I also know something is partially working because all the folders and sub-folders I have defined in my mail accounts do show up. So I am puzzled, and asking because it seems James is the common denominator, any ideas? Thanks in advance... Marc... -- --... ...-- .. ...-.. ..-- .- --... .--. -..- .-- -- .- .-. -.-.

Re: events.xml?
Thanks Garry, Matt for your input. I will assume that the IDLE feature of IMAP is working in my James server and won't worry about the configuration of it for now. (Though the James web page for config-events.html needs to be updated to reflect the current state of James.) I do have something odd going on with 3 different Android phones trying to use email client apps to connect to my James server and retrieving email. Initially emails are downloaded and displayed OK but as soon as we try and do a refresh all the emails disappear. And then for some unknown reason we can sometimes get them back and display them but we don't know what triggers that. It seems to be inconsistent and therefore unrelated to changes we try making to the configurations of the apps. K-9 seems very sensitive to this sort of behavior but we have seen it happen on other apps such as Blue Mail, GMail and the default email app that comes with Samsung phones... This is why I became suspicious of IMAP's IDLE feature and was wanting to play with it to see if I could force the failure. Will keep looking for a solution, some folks are saying it might have something to do with Android's new battery savings features so that is another path for us to explore... Marc..

Multiple domains and security certificates
I hope I can follow in the footsteps of someone who has done this already... My James server is going to be handling multiple domains, each with its own set of sub-domains and I wish to use LetsEncrypt certificates to handles the StartTLS or SSL/TLS connections that each domain wants. Most of the examples shown on the internet show how to set up a certificate for a single domain, not helpful! The instructions show at https://james.apache.org/server/3/config-ssl-tls.html explain that James uses a keystore which can store multiple certificates but then there is this caveat - " You MUST have only one certificate in the keystore file used by James." Really? Does this mean I have to create a LetsEncrypt certificate with ALL the variants of -D for ALL the domains that I want to support? That is going to be one heck of a long command and difficult to maintain as I add and remove domains from my server! I am confused and hoping there is an easier way to manage this for James... (Wish this was handled like Apache HTTP server does it, one separate certificate per domain which all the subdomains included... This keystore complicates things IMHO..) So would appreciate it is some kind guru could show me how to set up certificates for a collections of domains so that I can also manage the various subdomains as well. For example - www.domain1.com, mail.domain1.com, ftp.domain1.com, ssh.domain1.com, ... www.domain2.com, mail.domain2.com, ftp.domain2.com, ssh.domain2.com, ... www.domain3.com ... ... All in one certificate??? Thanks for any advice in advance... Marc... -- Linux Counter

Handling 2 SMTP ports
I need to set up James so that another email server on my LAN can connect to it and relay messages on port 25. I also want James to handle external connections using StartTLS on port 587. With the old James 2.3 I was able to accomplish this by duplicating the block inside the block and assign the two separate ports, one each, to each of the sections. I tried that with James 3.4 and it squawked and thumbed it's nose at me. Threw a couple of exceptions and then shut down. So that is not how to do it and I cannot find any documentation/examples on how to configure James to handle connections on two separate ports... Can one of you fine guru's show me the way?

This is a perfectly valid approach to cutting down on spam being sent through a James server.. It would be interesting to know if this is the most commonly used approach, or whether most servers are using SMTP authentication instead, or whether most servers are using both methods. My argument is not against using this particular matcher/mailet, but that the default configuration files should come supplied and set up in a way that reflects the most common usage. To restrict emails to only come from users on the local host, by default in the supplied config file, seems to be awfully restrictive and uncommon usage, but I am only guessing. My suspicion is that most folks using James are going to use SMTP authentication, at least that is my own personal experience, and for users to be on a LAN/WLAN. So I am wondering if this matcher/mailet should not be enabled by default and SMTP authentication should be enabled instead, by default. I understand the need for James to start up safely, from the default configurations, so as not to be an open relay by default. > > If you are using SMTP authentication then you can (and generally > should) disable this matcher/mailet pair." I think this relationship between using SMTP authentication and this matcher/mailet should be automated. In other words, if SMTP authentication is turned on then this matcher/mailet should be disabled by default automatically. And vice/versa. I also think that the administrator should be able to override this automated relationship, with an explicitly set option, if for some reason both or neither approaches are wanted. Again, the real question is, what is the most common way James is being configured, and how can mistakes, such as I made, be minimized. The goal being to keep James robust and easy to manage. > > So, as far as I understand it: "Don't touch it if you don't understand > it - but you should remove it anyway when smtp auth is used.". Guess > that's it for you. I took the "Don't touch it" approach as much as I could. Trouble is I didn't catch this somewhat hidden matcher/mailet nor did I expect that the James server would come up with a very restrictive policy that was preventing me from testing/using it from somewhere else on my LAN. Especially after I had enabled SMTP authentication, which kinda implied, at least to me, that I would be able to use James from across my LAN. This is re-enforce by the observation the IMAP and POP3 were working from across my LAN and made it difficult to understand why SMTP wouldn't. > > I've never encountered that as I only have my domain cryptearth.de in > domainlist - neither localhost nor other local entries.

Yep! :-) And don't get me wrong, I am NOT complaining about Apache James really, just throwing out some thoughts to think about, which might make it easier for others following in my footsteps, in installing and bringing up James. I am very impressed with the amount of work that has obviously gone into developing James, and totally appreciate the amount of support you and Benoit have given me! I am going to work on getting SSL/TLS working with LetsEncrypt certificates
Re: MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: classpath SOLVED
Morning Benoit ;-) This could get into being a philosophical discussion for certain! I have mixed feelings about customization of error messages, and you are correct in saying I could change this particular one. I have always approached software design with the attitude that error handling and error messages should be carefully crafted so as to guide users to a solution, not just tell them that something went wrong. Which is what this particular error message is doing when left in it's current default state. We could change/customize it for our own users, (actually I will just remove this mailet) but doing so leads to a different issue. If everyone who installs James servers (or any other application for that matter) is allowed to customize error messages then it leads to a non-standard environment. Often, when users encounter an error message, that doesn't provide an understandable solution, they will then Google it looking for a solution, hoping to find a guru or a collective mind to provide one. Even in cases such as this, where the solution will require the assistance of the James administrators to solve this problem, the user needs to be told that he/she must contact them AND what exactly they need to tell the administrators. I would craft this message to say, "Your email server is rejecting your request to send your email messages. Please contact your Internet Service Provider and/or IT administrator and tell them that your email server is rejecting your request to relay email because it is not configured to accept email from your IP address. They need to check the configuration of the anti-relay matcher/mailet or remove this matcher/mailet from the server." In this way, both the user and the administrators have been guided to a solution making it easier to resolve this problem. I am not sure that I would design this matcher/mailet to allow easy customization of the error message however, I think that should be only done internally within the code itself. But you could convince me otherwise if you can provide me with some compelling reasons to allow customization. Marc On 02/20/2019 12:15 AM, Benoit Tellier wrote: > Hi. > > This is very true.

Re: MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: classpath SOLVED
Well at this point I will say that the upgrade to James 3.4 SNAPSHOT has worked, I finally found the remaining problem that had been overlooked. (this is a rather bad user trap IMHO and probably should be re-addressed.) There is a mailet defined in the mailetcontainer.xml that needs to be removed, (commented out) - relay-denied 550 - Requested action not taken: relaying denied if one is going to enable SMTP authorization. Yeah there is a lot of comments that say as much, in that file, but this is easily overlooked IMHO. Would be safer to automate the removal of this mailet when SMTP authorization is enabled and then in the rare cases where this is also wanted, require the installer to opt in rather than having to opt out. Just a thought Anyways thanks everyone for all your help, I will now start to set up all the rest of my domains and users that I need to support and see how far I get... If I have more questions I will start a new thread... Funny that I wasn't getting the notice "550 - Requested action not taken: relaying denied" in a bounce email... (but even that is a really bad error message that most users will not understand nor know what to do about it.) Marc..

Thanks Matt, you were correct, I needed to install the java-devel packages. Maven then ran fine, kinda scary actually watching it run! That is a LOT of code being downloaded and processed! I will table the systemd issue for now and just concentrate on getting James running. I like your idea of using crontab to work around it for now...

I set it up with one domain and one user (myself) and I can now send and receive email to/from myself on it. But I cannot send an outgoing email to anywhere else! I am using Thunderbird to test it with and when I try to send an outgoing email to some other domain, something weird is happening. It acts as if it sent it OK, but it is showing up in the sent folder, in Thunderbird, twice! I tried to send an email from my account on James to a GMail account I have and it never showed up, so something is failing still. Going in the other direction, if I send an email from an outside server to my account on James, I do receive it OK.

Re: MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: classpath
Hi Matt, thanks for responding! It appears to me that "classpath" is actually defined in the startup scripts. There are two different scripts used to start the james server, either "james" or "run.sh". I do not believe "classpath" is defined in any of the config files themselves. I am not using "run.sh" to start the james server, instead I noted that the james script is configured with the classic init.d entry points - start, stop, restart, etc. I modified the "james" script slightly so that I could run james as a systemd service instead (see below). At this point I strongly suspect that the definition of environment variables, using the james startup script, is failing, so I am pursuing this to see what is going on. However, running james as a systemd service does not seem to be the problem, even if I just run the james startup script by itself, not as a service, I am still getting the same failure with the "classpath" variable. If anyone has ported james to run as a systemd service I would much appreciate knowing how you did it. What I have done was to add the init.d initialization comments to the beginning of the james shell script then let systemd take it from there to create the actual .service files - added to beginning of the james startup script to define init.d runlevels - ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: james # Required-Start: $network $syslog $time # Required-Stop: $network $syslog $time # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Description: Initscript for Apache James Mail Server ### END INIT INFO and FYI these are the steps I then took to set up the init.d services and then convert them to systemd services on OpenSuSE Leap 15.0 - First I created a soft link from /etc/init.d to the james startup script - ln -s /mail/apache-james-3.2/james-server-app-3.2.0/bin/james /etc/init.d/james Next install in james script into the various init.d runlevels cd /etc/init.d insserv james Next set up the systemd files from the new init.d configuration files and start the service. systemctl daemon-reload systemctl start james.service The james service does start up OK and will report that it is running when checking on it's status. It is just not working properly in accepting connections or doing the various tasks that the service should be doing and my goal at this point is to resolve any and all exceptions that are occurring such as this one.

MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: classpath
I am still trying to configure and set up a new Apache James 3.2.0 with Spring wiring and am running into a new snag. I suspect I am overlooking something in the config files. So can a kind guru decipher this stack walkback, shown in the wrapper.log file, and give me a clue on how to fix and make James a happy camper? I won't show the entire stack walkback just what I think are the highlights, but if anyone wants the whole thing I certainly can provide it. (Benoit - I have not figured out how to acquire the source code, with the fixes you mentioned in my previous threads, and build/test the new version of James. Perhaps you could send me instructions? Just send me a link to the source code and a Makefile preferably, I have never used Docker and don't understand how that works.. ) Thanks in advance...

Re: Logfiles not working RESOLVED SOMEWHAT!
Oh! :-( Thank Garry for responding... Well this issue is not a showstopper, just a false flag then, I guess, that I have been chasing. Probably should be flagged for debugging/fixing of the code or flagged for updating the documentation so others won't chase this. BTW I was able to hack the log4j.properties file a bit and got some of the warnings quieted down by following in Simon's footsteps changing the references to DailyRollingFileAppender to RollingFileAppender, removing the DatePattern property specifications, and with the additional following change - log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG changed to log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, CONS Anywise, I will move on and ping my other outstanding question/thread, about the rewrite recipient SQL query, which is a showstopper for me at the moment, and hopefully find a guru who can send me down a path that will let me get Apache James working...

Re: Could not rewrite recipient?
I have no way to grok what the intent is, nor the details of what this query is expecting in the database, but upon a first look through the SQL documentation I changed this query by putting quotes around the question marks '?' in the LIKE clauses and MariaDB accepted it. i.e. - SELECT t0.DOMAIN_NAME, t0.USER_NAME, t0.TARGET_ADDRESS FROM JAMES_RECIPIENT_REWRITE t0 WHERE (t0.USER_NAME LIKE '?' ESCAPE '\\' AND t0.DOMAIN_NAME LIKE '?' ESCAPE '\\') ORDER BY t0.DOMAIN_NAME DESC; This is just a guess on my part, but me thinks this might be a bug in how Apache James is constructing this query?

Re: Could not rewrite recipient?
Thanks Garry, looks like some sort of syntax error is occurring. Interesting thing is I set up the mariadb server to log all queries and statements and I am seeing a lot of things coming in from the James server, but not the particular statement that is causing problems... Applying the statement directly by hand, while logged in to the database server as James, this is what is happening - MariaDB [mail]> SELECT t0.DOMAIN_NAME, t0.USER_NAME, t0.TARGET_ADDRESS FROM JAMES_RECIPIENT_REWRITE t0 WHERE (t0.USER_NAME LIKE ? ESCAPE '\\' AND t0.DOMAIN_NAME LIKE ? ESCAPE '\\') ORDER BY t0.DOMAIN_NAME DESC; ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near '? ESCAPE '\\' AND t0.DOMAIN_NAME LIKE ? ESCAPE '\\') ORDER BY t0.DOMAIN_NAME DES' at line 1 Maybe an expert pair of SQL eyes can see what is wrong faster than I can do a search through the documentation, in order to figure out what is exactly wrong with this MySQL query.. I am by no means an expert at SQL syntax!! ;-) Marc On 1/25/19 9:11 AM, Garry Hurley wrote: okay, well, that aside, the problem is in the domain name being passed. Pull the query out of the error message and try to run it against your database (logged in using the same user credentials that james connects with). My thoughts are that either your domain name that is passed contains an invalid character or is null, or that the table is either not readable by james or does not contain any values that match. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: server-user-unsubscr...@james.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: server-user-h...@james.apache.org

Mailman and James?
Hello again - One feature I need to support is mail lists and I note that Apache James 3.2 does not support them yet? I wonder if anyone has successfully integrated Mailman with James and if so would be willing to provide me with a how to guide? I have started to take a look at Mailman and notice that it seems to be designed to work with Fetchmail and Postfix. I have my suspicions that running those tools on the same server that James is running on will lead to conflicts. Are there any other Linux based tools that can manage a mail list and work with James that might be recommended instead? (Along with a how to guide...) Thanks, Marc -- Linux Counter
Re: Systemd service file for James?
Thanks Ashton, I actually was in the middle of tackling this when your email came in! ;-) I took a different approach and decided to let the system generate the service file for me. In case anyone wants to follow my footsteps here is what I did - Add the following init info comments to the beginning of the james startup script - ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: james # Required-Start: $network $syslog $time # Required-Stop: $network $syslog $time # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Description: Initscript for Apache James Mail Server ### END INIT INFO Next create a soft link from /etc/init.d to the james startup script - ln -s /mail/apache-james-3.2/james-server-app-3.2.0/bin/james /etc/init.d/james Next install links to the james script into the various init.d runlevels cd /etc/init.d insserv james Next set up the systemd files from the new init.d configuration. systemctl daemon-reload and this is what this magic incantation cooked up for me - cat /run/systemd/generator.late/james.service # Automatically generated by systemd-sysv-generator [Unit] Documentation=man:systemd-sysv-generator(8) SourcePath=/etc/init.d/james Description=LSB: Apache James :: Server :: App Before=multi-user.target multi-user.target multi-user.target graphical.target After=network-online.target time-sync.target Wants=network-online.target time-sync.target [Service] Type=forking Restart=no TimeoutSec=5min IgnoreSIGPIPE=no KillMode=process GuessMainPID=no RemainAfterExit=yes ExecStart=/etc/init.d/james start ExecStop=/etc/init.d/james stop I will copy this file to /usr/systemd/system and tweak it a bit more but I think it got me in the ballpark... At least I can now invoke systemctl commands on the james service. I will test some more and then go conquer the next mountain (probably SSL/TLS) ...

Just wondering if anyone has made or have an example of a james.service file for running James under Systemd? Would make my life a bit easier if I don't have to figure out how to create one from scratch! ;-) Thanks in advance as always... Marc.. -- Linux Counter
Re: A MySQL connection setup issue SOLVED!
Thanks everyone who helped me with getting James and MySQL/MariaDB to
get along with each other. Upgrading MariaDB from version 10.0 (supplied
with the OpenSUSE distro) to version 10.3 solved the remaining problems
I was experiencing. Appears there was a bug in setting table sizes that
they managed to solve. I will close this thread and start a new one
with my next question.

Re: A MySQL connection setup issue
Hi Garry - Took quite a bit of sleuthing but I think I have made
progress, at least solved one thing only to encounter another... Isn't
that the way programming goes? LOL Anywise it appears I made a mistake
in granting privileges in MariaDB, I had executed the following -
MariaDB [mysql]> grant all privileges on mail to 'james'@'localhost';
whereas it should have been -
MariaDB [mysql]> grant all privileges on mail.* to 'james'@'localhost';
To insure user james had remote access from my internal network I also
issued this command -
MariaDB [mail]> grant all privileges on mail.* to 'james'@'192.168.10.%'
identified by 'aPassword';

Hi Garry, and thanks for your thoughts also... Still no joy however... The vendor class (database.driverClassName) in my configuration is the same as what you show here. Ditto for all the other parameters except for the database.url. I created a database called mail (not maildb) in MariaDB so I adjusted the declaration to - database.url=jdbc:mariadb://localhost:3306/mail I won't get into the politics/religion over distros, I worship the gods of OpenSUSE myself, so no I don't have a rc.mysqld file to poke at, but I do have a my.cnf file and within it there is a parameter to skip networking, which is commented out. (If uncommented, according to the comments in the file, then only socket connections would be allowed and all TCP/IP port connections disabled.) Marc...

Re: A MySQL connection setup issue
Hi Sailbabu, Thanks for your thoughts but no joy... MARIADB and MYSQL are identical in all respects, AFAIK, and according to OpenSUSE documentation fully compatible. Anywise, when I tried to change the vendorAdapter name as you suggested, to MARIADB, James threw a different exception basically saying that MARIADB is unrecognized/unknown. So I went back to MYSQL. I suspect this only controls the construction of command/query syntax for working with a particular database, so my belief is that MYSQL should be the correct selection... Marc...

A MySQL connection setup issue
(Thanks Benoit, Saibabu, and Simon for taking the time/trouble to answer my previous question on MySQL. It helped a lot!) I have managed to get a little further setting up James 3.2.0 Spring with MySQL/MariaDB but have ran into a problem which Google is not being helpful. I appear to be having troubles with getting a connection going between James and the MariaDB server. I will provide a description of what I have done and then I will show the exception message I am getting which is stopping James from starting up... First of all I downloaded the MariaDB Connector/J .jar file from https://downloads.mariadb.org/connector-java/ and installed it in the conf/lib directory within the James installation. I then set up a database and user in MariaDB as follows - > mysql --user=root -p MariaDB [mysql]> create database mail; MariaDB [mysql]> create user 'james'@'localhost' identified by 'apassword'; MariaDB [mysql]> grant all privileges on mail to 'james'@'localhost'; I also created a system user for james and assigned it the same password.

Hi - I am investigating James and need a mail server that supports mail lists.

This second issue is mostly a heads up/FYI but it cost me a lot of time trying to figure out what the problems were and track down so this ought to get fixed.

So I am going to presume that for at least the following set of these config files there is NOT a default.

My experimentation seems to imply that I do, since I cannot get the CLI or JMX console to correctly respond to a listusers command, but why? Did the database schema change for 3.0? And if I do manage to get this migration step to work, will I ruin the database and make it unusable for James 2.3.1 to use it, should I need to drop back to it? Also, it is not totally clear what I need to do about the actual mail store. Do I just copy the user directories over into the 3.0 server space?

Re: Mockup proposal for a promoting James website
Hi Benoit - (I will follow your precedent of top posting.) No, the trouble with the current organization of the James website is that the only way to navigate it is to use the hierarchical tree structured table of contents that is found on the left hand side of the pages. This can make it difficult to discover where a particular topic is addressed, especially if/when that topic is found in a location that the developer thought was appropriate, but not intuitive in the mind of a user. For example, I wanted to discover what mailets are provided with James. My initial guess was to navigate to the "User Manual" > Configure James > Mailet Container and almost missed the tiny link provided/embedded at the bottom of the page to the list of mailets. Then and only then did I discover that this list was located in a surprising location under "Developers Corner" which I had assumed would be topics strictly of interest to James developers, not to users. (I am NOT criticizing this particular layout, just using it as an example of how using a tree hierarchy must be navigated, sometimes through many many branches, in order to discover where a particular topic is documented.) Using search engines can further complicate matters, especially on sites such as James where multiple versions of documents are stored. One can easily and inadvertently land on a document that is inappropriate for the version of the James that he/she is using, and waste a lot of time chasing a wrong answer. (I know, I have done it myself) What a site map is/does is to flatten the presentation of an entire website into a single page which contains links to EVERY web page associated with that website. (including orphaned web pages which sometimes crop up) That both makes it easy to see a high level view of the entire website, all at once, and provides a lot of additional clues as to the organizational model and where one may find documents on a particular subject. One measure of the ease of use of a website is to ask how many clicks does it take, to discover the answer to a question or reach a goal on that website. A site map can reduce this to a single click. Site maps are often used on large complex web sites and I am sure you can find many examples. Also I have seen tools that develop a site map automatically, some do it externally by chasing links, others do it internally on the servers by chasing documents and directories also, although these tools do have their limitations and shortcomings especially if/when a web site serves dynamic content. I am not asking that James use a site map in lieu of the hierarchical table of contents it now has, just in addition to it. Marc...

I made an attempt to go ahead and start the James server using my best guesses on how the configuration files should be set up. Unfortunately I hit another snag, see below. I can send you the contents of my configuration files if you need to see them. For the cassandra.properties I set the cassandra.ip back to cassandra.ip = cassandra as it was originally configured.

(stuff deleted from my previous emails) Depending on your domain backend, you can define statically the domains into domainlist.xml (I guess servernames got replaced by domainnames) or dynamically by calling administration API. With cassandra, we rather use dynamic config, so take a look at "how to call james-cli" in the documentation, there's an API like "adddomain" in it. OK. I will punt on this for now and try to configure the domain names dynamically when I get the server up and running I had to modify the command to start the James server slightly to point the jar file to what I believe is the correct location.

As mentioned above, SMTP AUTH requires that Apache James Server be able to distinguish between mail intended for local delivery and mail intended for remote delivery. Apache James Server makes this determination by matching the domain to which the mail was sent against the element of the Apache James Server configuration block. Any local domains should be explicitly listed as elements in this section. My trouble is I cannot figure out where the elements are to be configured. I grepped through all the config files (basically everything downloaded from the GIT repo) and cannot find any file containing a section for defining servernames. (I did find a number of references to it however...) So where is this servernames section hiding? Thanks as always for helping guide me out of the woods...

Thanks Jerry for taking the time to reply, much appreciated! I ran the tests at mail-tester.com and of course that has lead me to come back here and ask for further help! It appears I have a couple of serious issues and a couple of minor ones, but I have not found any joy in solving all of them by searching on the internet.

The Authentication tests reported - Your message is not signed with DKIM DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) is a method for associating a domain name to an email message, thereby allowing a person, role, or organization to claim some responsibility for the message. I found the JDKIM project for the Apache James server but I am unable to find any instructions on how to install, configure and use it! Does anyone have a good pointer to documentation? I read everything I could find on the Apache web site but only found a couple of bits and pieces of info, nothing I could grok however. Will it even work with my version of James - 2.3.2? There was one other minor problem reporting that I do not have a DMARC record. But I think I understand how to solve that issue (by adding a TXT RR record to my DNS server) once I get DKIM working...

If there is ANY problem with the structure of your email and/or your email setup, domain, dns, server IP address, and a bunch of other things , they are going to bounce it (with zero useful info to explain why). They also bounce according to how many emails you've sent depending on how 'spammy' they think the email is. They may let a few in. But if you send 20 'suspect' emails in a day, they'll start bouncing for a day or so, then let it start passing thru again. I have found that the best solution is to make sure your emails and everything related to your outbound server are all completely clean according to spam analysis criteria. A good place to start is mail-tester.com <http://www.mail-tester.com/> Go to the web site and they'll give you a temp email address that you can send an email to. After you send it, click the link to analyze the mail. They will grade your email including the sending server parameters and tell you how 'good' your email is. With detailed explanations of what is wrong. My initial score was pretty bad. It took some time and was a royal pain to fix all of the issues. But I finally got the coveted 100% grade.

Re: Need help getting james-3.0.beta5-SNAPSHOT up and going
I decided to start over and reinstall James from scratch and do a minimal amount of configuration before starting James, so for the moment ignore my previous email requesting help. Seems I now have a different problem to resolve first. That said, I downloaded this version of James (I had to guess that it is the latest snapshot ) from the repository at https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/apache/james/apache-james/3.0-beta5-SNAPSHOT/ and the version I downloaded was - apache-james-3.0-beta5-20121229.091821-854-app.tar.gz http://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/apache/james/apache-james/3.0-beta5-SNAPSHOT/apache-james-3.0-beta5-20121229.091821-854-app.tar.gz Next, I simply renamed 3 of the configuration template files for imapserver, pop3server, and smtpserver .conf files so as to remove the -template part from their names.

James V3 build failed
Hi - Since I am not getting much in the way of responses to some of my questions about James, I decided I would like to try and build it so that I can learn what it is doing and perhaps help improve it, or at least meet my own needs. So with that I embarked on following instructions that I am finding at the following URL's - http://james.apache.org/server/3/dev-build.html https://wiki.apache.org/james/EclipseNotes (since I use Eclipse for a lot of my own development work) and the instructions found in BUILD.txt file that comes with the James source code in the root directory. There is a lot of inconsistencies in these instructions, but I have managed to get Eclipse set up and connected to the Subversion repository, where-upon I proceeded to check out the server/trunk project - http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/server/trunk Then following the path suggested in the wiki on using Eclipse, I decided to try an verify the checkout by running maven as described in the BUILD.txt file. Running the version which also runs the unit tests failed so I decided to try the build without running the unit tests - mvn clean package -DskipTests=true That got much further, but it again failed with the following error message - [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.karaf.tooling:features-maven-plugin:2.3.0:add-features-to-repo (add-features-to-repo) on project james-karaf-distribution: Error populating repository: /home/marc/.m2/repository/org/apache/james/karaf/james-karaf-features/3.0.0-beta5-SNAPSHOT/james-karaf-features-3.0.0-beta5-SNAPSHOT-features.xml (No such file or directory) - [Help 1] I am not familiar with using Maven (I am an old make fogy...) so I don't understand yet what/why this .m2 directory was created, but there is a lot of stuff going in to it.

Logfiles and Fail2Ban
I have a two part question and hopefully someone has tread down this path and might be able to give me a few pointers... 1st. Has anyone used the logfile monitor - Fail2Ban in conjunction with the Apache James server? If so, would you care to share what it took to get things working and your configuration files/filters that you used? 2nd. If not, is there any way to get James to log failed attempts at using its services, to include failed login attempts. In particular I need the IP address of the culprit to be logged. I have monitored the SMTP, POP3, and RemoteManager log files, while running bogus login attempts myself, and do not see log messages reflecting my tests...

Mail backup advice needed
Hi - I cannot find the answer to this question anywhere, so thought I would ask here as I am sure some of you may have encountered this question also... I am running a personal James email server and I have figured out how to configure it to handle users at a virtual domain that I am hosting for a couple of friends of mine. That part is working fine. For my main mail server I am using a mail backup service provided by dnsmadeeasy.com and that too is working fine. My question is, for virtual hosts/users (which resolve to the same IP address as my own domain name does) do I also need to provide them with a separate mail backup service, based on their domain names, or do all the emails sent to virtual hosts/domains get backed up also, via my backup service for my primary mail domain? I could ask dnsmadeeasy but I wanted an independent answer as they have a financial interest in selling services... Hopefully my question makes sense, I don't fully understand this part of DNS and how mail resolution actually works.

Question on mail list support in James 3.0
I have been waiting for a LONG time now to upgrade my James mail server to 3.0 as I would like to use an IMAP server instead of a POP3 server. But I cannot upgrade as long as there is no support for mail lists, which I need. According to the Apache James website this is not yet available. My question is will it be supported and if so, when is the ETA? Just curious...

In the section from the http://james.apache.org/server/3/dev-build.html document, on Select Projects to Import the example shows that a checkbox for Add project(s) to working set has been checked.

Right below this there is the following instruction - You can also import other projects from imap, mailbox and protocols to have a more complete view on the used sources code. I am confused, and am sure others might also be.. did we not get all the source code for the James server? If not, then providing instructions, and/or links to places that describe how to import and connect these projects would be useful..

In the section - Prepare projects I have a couple questions. I presume that if I run Eclipse/James as root, I won't have to remap ports to values higher than 1024? I did not grok the instruction - For ease, you can also create 2 new eclipse projects to edit the files and visualize the created mails/store/...: james-server-container-spring-conf and james-server-container-spring-var. I think this needs some clarification and have no idea what to do... That's it! Following these instructions is doable, IF you are prepared to do a lot of experimenting/backtracking in order to grasp what one is being asked to do. I wouldn't mind helping out with the documentation, but it appears that getting James to run under Eclipse is a moving target, and I suspect Beta3 and whatever upcoming releases there are, will require a very different approach... Also, my earlier question about all the exceptions I saw during the Maven build (from a shell) remain a concern.

Re: Now need help setting up James
Eric - I understand that mailrepositorystore.xml is for defining the various methods to store email for the James server. And no, I do not want to store the mail in a MySQL database, but instead simply use the file system. On 11/2/2011 8:28 AM, Eric Charles wrote: Hi Marc, 1. Some examples may not updated. Take care... I will not use the examples if they differ from the supplied .xml configuration files... 2. mailrepositorystore.xml is not about your mailbox (see http://james.apache.org/server/3/feature-persistence.html, we are open for any new name...). Did you find mailbox.xml? You will need to change database.properties to setup you MySQL connection. If you want to store mails in MySQL, which path are you looking for? Yes, I did find mailbox.xml. What I do NOT find is any examples or instructions on how to configure it for using the file system mechanism of persistence for user emails. (or any other of the mechanisms) I have found a very superficial description of the providers described in this file, but nothing that explains the details of what and how to use them... The web page at - http://james.apache.org/mailbox/ is nearly useless in helping me to grok these various mechanisms and a lot of the links found there, to follow for additional information, point to incomplete/empty web pages If I were to take a wild guess, I would guess that I want to use the maildir mechanism, but I dunno for sure.. I can find nothing to elucidate me on what that really is, and what I have to do to use it... I can't even figure out what it means to define a provider, and what that does for James... And why are the mechanisms for storing mailbox data different than the mechanisms for configuring how to store spam, errors etc in mailrepositorystore.xml?

I wouldn't mind helping out with the documentation, but it appears that getting James to run under Eclipse is a moving target, and I suspect Beta3 and whatever upcoming releases there are, will require a very different approach... Also, my earlier question about all the exceptions I saw during the Maven build (from a shell) remain a concern.

Re: Getting started using Eclipse to run James..
Thanks again Eric for replying... It has taken me quite awhile to wrestle/learn how to get Eclipse set up with your suggestions. (Eclipse would do well to work on their undo capabilities, I had to rebuild it from scratch several times!) Anywise, I think I got the archived version of maven installed OK, am using version 0.12.1.20110112-1712 I don't understand what Spring Files are, probably somewhere on the learning curve that I have not yet reached. I made a guess and used SVN to install two projects into my workspace - https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/app/trunk/ https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/server/trunk/ When I did an Import Existing Maven Project and selected the root directory as james/app/trunk I got no complaints but nothing seemed to happen either. When I tried an Import Existing Maven Project and selected the root directory as james/server/trunk I got a lot of build errors reports such as 7/28/11 5:51:08 PM PDT: Build errors for james-server-filesystem-api; org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.4.3:resources (default-resources) on project james-server-filesystem-api: Execution default-resources of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.4.3:resources failed. and a whole lot of packages/projects got installed in the Package Explorer panel. But the various packages/projects did not show any errors when all said an done... just a lot of warnings.. So, am I doing something wrong and is this something I need to worry about? Or should I try an proceed onwards. I am not sure how to run James under Eclipse yet, one question that comes immediately to mind is - Where are the configuration files for James located? Do I need to checkout all the other projects/components of James first and do I include them all in the same workspace if/when I import these as part of a Maven project? (Not a lot of documentation seems to be available on how to do this, so please bear with me, I am struggling a bit trying to learn as I go...) Marc...

Getting started using Eclipse to run James..
I would like to learn how to run James from Eclipse and up front will admit that I am not a guru with Eclipse.. (Have used it some in the past, but not very savoy with it.) Am trying to follow the instructions found at http://wiki.apache.org/james/EclipseNotes and got rapidly lost.. 1. I managed to get James checked out from the Apache SVN repository without problems. 2. Verify Checkout and I hit the first snag. The instructions say to run the Ant 'build' script. I used find to hunt for a build.xml file and could not find it. Ant of course complains about this... So reading the BUILD.txt file it says I should use a different build tool - maven. So I downloaded that and installed it. Then ran the command mvn clean package which produced 18 minutes worth of output, amongst which I noted several stack walkbacks from some kind of exceptions. I dunno where, if any, a log file exists that would capture all of this, but if anyone wishing to help wants to see it, please guide me to it and I will post 3. The third section on this web page talks about Modularization, and this totally lost me. It says to start by creating a new user library containing all the jars in stage Stage??? What and where is stage? Now lost, I decided to go off and play with Eclipse to see where I am at. The first thing I knew it was going to be asking for is where is main. Hunting around I found a main class in james/container-spring so I added this to the build path source folders, and pointed the run/debug configuration for the Main class at it. That indeed brought the container-spring stuff into the project but with lots of errors. I took a look to see what was going on and it appears that the package declarations in each of the source files differs from the way files are organized in the file system as checked out from SVN. I.E. the declarations start with org.apache.james while the expected package (based on the file system organization) is src.main.java.org.apache.james... for example. My own experience with Java development on Eclipse, in the past, agrees that the file system organization is unexpected... So SPLAT! I have hit a brick wall and dunno how to proceed... I guess I could modify all the package declarations and see where that leads me, but somehow I suspect that is not the path I should proceed down Anyone care to lead this poor lost java soul out of the woods? I probably am going to be asking quite a few newbie type questions as a lot of this is unfamiliar to me. (FYI, I have managed to do some Tomcat development/debugging in the past with Eclipse, so I was kinda expecting James development to be somewhat similar.) Thanks in advance...

Re: TLS/SSL problems Solved!
Thanks David for your reply... You were sorta right... Actually openSuSE is screwed up when it comes to changing the Java installation (I went from openJDK_x64 to the Sun_X32 version. OpenSuSE uses a lot of links in /etc/alternatives to point at the correct version of Java things, which in turn get used by a lot of scripts) Most of these links were broken after the change over and I had to go through and correct them all by had. Additionally, openSuSE left a lot of files, dirs, and links in the /usr/lib64/jvm install directory which further confused a number of scripts and cause them to mis-set environment variables... Cleaning up all this mess, made James a happy camper again... I am continuing to try and get James installed in Eclipse so I can see what is going on within some of my mail lists that I support...

Re: How do I recover email marked as spam
(Hmmm dunno why this hasn't showed up on the list yet, been over a day since I sent it... so if this shows up twice, my apologies for re-sending it again.. Marc) Thanks Eric for replying.. Actually I found a rough solution (ugly but worked) which was to install the mailet for FromRepository and triggered it by sending an email to the James server with a special recipient. That resent the WHOLE spam repository (for which I had to subsequently apologize to all of our users for dumping all that past spam on em.) Actually that kinda was a mixed blessing because we found that many emails had been marked as spam which shouldn't have been.. Anywise I guess one could argue that gave us the opportunity to re-train the Bayesian filter further. I will keep an eye on the filter but am having some serious second thoughts about using it now. It is nice to try an filter out spam for users, but not so good if valid emails are caught also. Then there is no way of knowing, or retraining the Bayesian filter unless one takes the trouble of going through all that spam, from time to time. Maybe a good idea would be to have a spam repository/mailbox on a per user basis and let each user trigger a dump of it, if and when they feel like sorting through their own spam for legitimate emails... But, on the other hand, users are difficult to train and most will complain so I am not sure that will work either I dunno why my first attempt at recovering the email from the spam directory failed to work. I had simply copied the two associated files for the particular email, from the spam directory, over to the users inbox directory. But James refused to send it on! So I am curious as to why such a simple and obvious approach to solving this problem, failed. Marc... On 7/10/2011 12:18 AM, Eric Charles wrote: Hi, To my knowledge, there is no tool to do this.

Re: James and Postfix-Sendmail
Hi Eric - Yes, that is the web page I was referring to. I see it is also in the wiki http://wiki.apache.org/james/JamesAndSendmail and I would suggest leaving it there, but would concur that removing the link from the main website area is a good idea. The last time I configured Sendmail to exist peacefully with James, I found a lot of the configuration details had changed and much of the documentation obsolete. With the movement towards Postfix, this webpage will no longer be relevant except for those who are going to continue to use the older Sendmail. I will continue to either wait for an answer to my question on how to configure Postfix, or try to do some more research for a solution on my own. If I come up with an answer, I will post a solution and suggest it be incorporated into the Wiki page. Marc...

I just upgraded my openSuSE server to the latest release 11.4, and am trying to setup James (version 2.3.2) and configure the rest of the system to something similar to what I have had in the past. Part of this involved configuring Sendmail so it would route email sent through it (from applications such as Bugzilla) through James. (This also prevented a conflict on using the mail ports as well). For this, the James website provided a set of instructions for configuring Sendmail to work with James and I have had success in the past following these instructions. With the latest version of openSuSE, it appears that Sendmail (as a standalone MTA) is being phased out and Postfix is the replacement. Postfix has it's own version of Sendmail so as to remain backwards compatible with applications that use Sendmail. However, there isn't a separate configuration file for the Postfix-Sendmail so the instructions on how to configure Sendmail to work with James is no longer applicable. I need to retain the Sendmail API for a number of applications that also run on my server. SO? How does one configure Postfix to work with James? Any pointers and advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance... (Any chance of updating the webpage on the James website that discusses this? I think it too is quite a bit out of date and many of the details no longer apply either, though I have been able to figure out what to do despite the documentation errors.)
