james is now looping on itself trying to deliver error
messages without success.
james tries and fails to send mail to the postmaster, defined as
"deesse-admin@localhost". There is a user called deesse-admin on
the box, and a mail user called deesse-admin created using the
administrative commands (using telnet).
It doesn't matter if there is a user with that name or not. All that matters is whether or not there is one defined in the user repository.
OK that confirms my thinking.
I didn't enable special debugging (I can't remember). But there are plenty of log files in james/apps/james/logs.an email was sent to the James SMTP server with a 'To' field
containing an external address. Failing to do that, james
tried to send an email to the postmaster. This failed as
well and triggered a new mail to the postmaster
Why did mail to postmaster fail? Did you turn on DEBUG for the logs to see if you could see why a message to deesee-admin or postmaster is not being directed to the local repository? Resolving that problem would take care of the rest.
For example in default.log:
database-connections.maildb_ ****** connection 22 is way too old: 65063 > 60000
[ stack trace]
this message being repeated every 60-65 seconds.
in mailstore.log:
Error retrieving pending messages
java.sql.SQLException: Communication link failure: java.net.SocketException
at org.gjt.mm.mysql.MysqlIO.sendCommand(Unknown Source) ...
[...]
at org.apache.james.mailrepository.JDBCSpoolRepository.loadPendingMessages(JDBCSpoolRepository.java:232)
This happening every 5 seconds.
and the last one susceptible to be of interest:
in smtpserver.log
ERROR smtpserver: Unknown error occured while processing DATA.
javax.mail.MessagingException: Exceptio spooling message: Communication link falure: java.net.SocketException;
nested exception is:
java.lang.RunteimException: Exception cayght while storing mail Container: java.sql.SQLExceotuib: Communication link failure: java.net.SocketException
at org.apache.james.James.sendMail(James.java:450)
....
Does that indicate something to one of you?
