I now use james 2.01a (the binary that can be found on the website). For some reason the non-existence of a specific SMTP host makes this remotedelivery relaunch itself and repeat endlessly (When started, the James.Mailet.log would fill about 150mb log in a few minutes). I can't believe this is just because the smtp host is down.. there must be something else?
You can find the full log here... which is basically the snippet below repeated a million times (note that this doesn't contain the line where it all started since I had to reboot my machine to be able to access it again through SSH. I just relaunched and I had this result. Of course deleting the mail that was causing this problem brought all back to normal. I think there should definitely be a system to avoid any mail processing to enter an infinite loop. Isn't there a way to limit the number of times an email tries to get processed? http://www.meet-u.com/jmbuglog.gz This is what gets repeated: Sat Nov 24 06:43:08 CET 2001 [INFO ] (James.Mailet): RemoteDelivery: Sending failure message Mail1006424053509-1886-!1376559019-to-msn.fr Sat Nov 24 06:43:08 CET 2001 [INFO ] (James.Mailet): RemoteDelivery: Exception caught in RemoteDelivery.run(): java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException Sat Nov 24 06:43:08 CET 2001 [INFO ] (James.Mailet): RemoteDelivery: Remote delivery thread (0) will process mail Mail1006424053509-1886-!1376559019-to-msn.fr Sat Nov 24 06:43:08 CET 2001 [INFO ] (James.Mailet): RemoteDelivery: attempting to deliver Mail1006424053509-1886-!1376559019-to-msn.fr Sat Nov 24 06:43:08 CET 2001 [INFO ] (James.Mailet): RemoteDelivery: attempting delivery of Mail1006424053509-1886-!1376559019-to-msn.fr to host cpinssmtpe03.msn.com. to [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sat Nov 24 06:43:08 CET 2001 [INFO ] (James.Mailet): RemoteDelivery: Exception delivering message (Mail1006424053509-1886-!1376559019-to-msn.fr) - Unknown SMTP host: cpinssmtpe03.msn.com.; nested exception is: java.net.UnknownHostException: cpinssmtpe03.msn.com.
