Subject: RemoteDelivery Thread may hang forever

> I debugged this problem. It hangs in transport.connect() in

> that the Socket has no timeout set.

> Fortunately, JavaMail allows us to set such timeout, and therefore
> a fix in james is possible in the following way:
>
> If Session is created, a property "mail.smtp.timeout" should be set.
> (If SMTP is used).

> In RemoteDelivery.java, run() method,
>
> public void run() {
> //Checks the pool and delivers a mail message
> Properties props = new Properties();
> String timeout = getInitParameter("timeout");
> log("timeout="+timeout);
> if (timeout == null) timeout = "600000";
> props.put("mail.smtp.timeout", timeout);
> Session session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
> ...
>
>
> Then RemoteDelivery has a new parameter to set the timeout. Example:
>
> <mailet match="All" class="RemoteDelivery">
> <outgoing> file://../var/mail/outgoing/ </outgoing>
> <delayTime> 60000 </delayTime>
> <maxRetries> 288 </maxRetries>
> <timeout> 300000 </timeout>
> </mailet>

> This could be improved to support more protocols, but for that
> it is preferable to improve the API to get parameters.
