------------------------------------
Summary: PutEmail processor dying when SMTP server does not respond
Key: NIFI-9758
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-9758
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Extensions
Affects Versions: 1.14.0
Environment: Windows Server 2016
JDK 11
Reporter: Javier Fonseca
*Bug*
PutEmail processor dyes after _"the socked connection is established, if the
server response is lost for some reason (or if the server doesn't respond at
all) the processor thread gets stuck forever._
_Apparently this is kind of by design, since the default value of the
mail.smtp.timeout property is infinite, as it can be see
[here|https://javaee.github.io/javamail/docs/api/com/sun/mail/smtp/package-summary.html]._
_I had a look at the PutEmail processor source code and unfortunately I don't
think there is a way currently to set this in the processor configuration."_
Processor must be terminated/restart in these cases.
*Potential Solution*
Add a configurable property TimeOut to set the __ value of the
_mail.smtp.timeout_ property, allowing the processor to fail after certain
amount of time.
