I partially retract my statement. The problem doesn't happen with unmodififed James configuration, so it could be my configuration - but I still don't know what it is!!
Any help appreciated.

I'm pretty certain that James is losing some attributes from the mail message during the store/retrieve cycle. It seems to work ok the first time round for each message, but the second time round it doesn't get a full copy of the message. I changed the run() method of RemoteDelivery to dump out parts of the message and this is what I get: Started SMTP Server plain:25 Delivery thread after retrieve mail.From [0] = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Delivery thread after retrieve mail.To [0] = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Delivery thread after retrieve mail.Subject = Message form Perl script mailtest.pl Delivery thread after store and retrieve mail.From = null Delivery thread after store and retrieve mail.To = null Delivery thread after store and retrieve mail.Subject = null Delivery thread after 2nd store and retrieve mail.From = null Delivery thread after 2nd store and retrieve mail.To = null Delivery thread after 2nd store and retrieve mail.Subject = null Here's the snippet of code I modified in the run() method of RemoteDelivery: log(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " will process mail "+ key); MailImpl mail = outgoing.retrieve(key); dumpMessage("Delivery thread after retrieve mail", mail); outgoing.store(mail); MailImpl newMail = outgoing.retrieve(key); dumpMessage("Delivery thread after store and retrieve mail",newMail); outgoing.store(mail); MailImpl newMail2 = outgoing.retrieve(key); dumpMessage("Delivery thread after 2nd store and retrieve mail", newMail2); I haven't got the full picture yet, but it looks like the combination of the Mail wrapper classes that James uses do not fully preserve the object state during the store / retrieve cycle. I can force things to work by added a call to mail.getMessage().saveChanges() after the first retrieve, but it seems to me that this is really a workaround to the root problem, but I am not sure what the correct solution it. This consequence of this is that retries and bounces do not work and testing confirms this. Any comments, folks?
