Hi all,
I'm observing some unusual SMTP behavior with James and I was wondering if anyone else had seen something similar or had any thoughts as to the cause. I have the following setup: aristotle: A Win2k box on which I'm running James 2.1a1 with a Java 1.4.0.1 Java installation. The James installation is essentially out of the box, with configuration modifications to handle mail for a particular domain name, accept mail from clients on machines other than localhost, and listing of valid DNS servers. I have also made some code modifications to improve logging of SMTP responses from the server. These code changes are logging only and shouldn't affect the behavior. This same box has a Microsoft Outlook XP client. leibniz: A Windows XP box with a Microsoft Outlook XP client. On aristotle everything seems to work fine. I can send and receive mail, and the "Test Account Settings" button on the email account configuration works fine. When sending mail through James and when using the "Test Account Settings" I get a log segment that looks like this (Domains, IPs, and Email Addresses have been changed to protect the innocent): INFO 2002-07-09 10:31:14.993 [smtpserv] (): Hello Name is: aristotle DEBUG 2002-07-09 10:31:15.013 [smtpserv] (): Max message size is: 0 INFO 2002-07-09 10:31:15.023 [smtpserv] (): Connection from somemachine.com (1.2.3.4) INFO 2002-07-09 10:31:15.033 [smtpserv] (): Command received: HELO aristotle DEBUG 2002-07-09 10:31:15.033 [smtpserv] (): Sent: 250 aristotle Hello somemachine.com (1.2.3.4) INFO 2002-07-09 10:31:15.043 [smtpserv] (): Command received: MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DEBUG 2002-07-09 10:31:15.043 [smtpserv] (): Sent 250 Sender <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> OK INFO 2002-07-09 10:31:15.053 [smtpserv] (): Command received: RCPT TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DEBUG 2002-07-09 10:31:15.053 [smtpserv] (): 250 Recipient <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> OK INFO 2002-07-09 10:31:15.063 [smtpserv] (): Command received: DATA INFO 2002-07-09 10:31:15.393 [smtpserv] (): Mail sent to Mail Server INFO 2002-07-09 10:31:15.403 [smtpserv] (): Command received: QUIT DEBUG 2002-07-09 10:31:15.403 [smtpserv] (): Sent 221 aristotle Service closing transmission channel For leibniz the story is a little different. I can receive mail just fine from a variety of sources. I can send mail, but the log segment looks a little different (Domains, IPs, and Email Addresses have been changed to protect the innocent): INFO 2002-07-09 12:08:14.851 [smtpserv] (): Hello Name is: aristotle DEBUG 2002-07-09 12:08:14.861 [smtpserv] (): Max message size is: 0 INFO 2002-07-09 12:08:14.881 [smtpserv] (): Connection from somemachine.com (1.2.3.4) INFO 2002-07-09 12:08:14.891 [smtpserv] (): Command received: EHLO leibniz INFO 2002-07-09 12:08:14.901 [smtpserv] (): Command received: MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DEBUG 2002-07-09 12:08:14.901 [smtpserv] (): Sent 250 Sender <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> OK INFO 2002-07-09 12:08:14.911 [smtpserv] (): Command received: RCPT TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DEBUG 2002-07-09 12:08:14.911 [smtpserv] (): 250 Recipient <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> OK INFO 2002-07-09 12:08:19.949 [smtpserv] (): Command received: RSET DEBUG 2002-07-09 12:08:19.949 [smtpserv] (): 250 OK INFO 2002-07-09 12:08:23.053 [smtpserv] (): Command received: RSET DEBUG 2002-07-09 12:08:23.063 [smtpserv] (): 250 OK INFO 2002-07-09 12:08:23.063 [smtpserv] (): Command received: MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DEBUG 2002-07-09 12:08:23.063 [smtpserv] (): Sent 250 Sender <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> OK INFO 2002-07-09 12:08:23.073 [smtpserv] (): Command received: RCPT TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DEBUG 2002-07-09 12:08:23.073 [smtpserv] (): 250 Recipient <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> OK INFO 2002-07-09 12:08:23.083 [smtpserv] (): Command received: DATA INFO 2002-07-09 12:08:23.183 [smtpserv] (): Mail sent to Mail Server INFO 2002-07-09 12:08:23.293 [smtpserv] (): Command received: QUIT DEBUG 2002-07-09 12:08:23.293 [smtpserv] (): Sent 221 aristotle Service closing transmission channel Note the RSETs. Not sure why this would be happening. And when I try and "Test Account Settings", everything just hangs. The test eventually times out, never having completed successfully. The log segment is INFO 2002-07-09 12:07:32.390 [smtpserv] (): Hello Name is: aristotle DEBUG 2002-07-09 12:07:32.390 [smtpserv] (): Max message size is: 0 INFO 2002-07-09 12:07:32.400 [smtpserv] (): Connection from somemachine.com (1.2.3.4) INFO 2002-07-09 12:07:32.400 [smtpserv] (): Command received: EHLO leibniz INFO 2002-07-09 12:07:32.410 [smtpserv] (): Command received: MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DEBUG 2002-07-09 12:07:32.410 [smtpserv] (): Sent 250 Sender <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> OK This is especially odd considering that an actual send succeeds. I haven't had a chance to figure out if this is an XP specific problem or one that occurs for any client not on the server machine in an O/S independent fashion. That's my next step. I observed the same behavior when using James 2.0a3 and the snapshot in the "latest" directory from 5/30/02. Any thoughts? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. --Peter Peter M.
