---------------------------------
Since I cherry-picked the solution for 3.7.x, I should also cherry-pick the
addition.
> Remote Delivery sometimes uses wrong MAIL FROM address
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: JAMES-3791
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-3791
> Project: James Server
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Remote Delivery
> Affects Versions: master, 3.7.0
> Reporter: Karsten Otto
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 2h 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> *Observed Issue:*
> When delivering a mail to a remote server, James sometimes under load uses
> the wrong envelope sender (MAIL FROM). This creates a wrong Return-Path at
> the recipients end, which among other things causes problems with DSN replies.
> *Analysis:*
> I traced this to MailDelivrerToHost.tryDeliveryToHost(), which shows in the
> debug log a pattern like:
> # Attempting delivery of ... from al...@example.org
> # Mail sent successfully to ... from b...@example.org
> I also notice that getPropertiesForMail() modifies the shared SMTPSession by
> putting the envelope sender into its properties. So this is likely a race
> condition.
> *Possible Fixes:*
> I am not sure what the best fix for this would be:
> # Make tryDeliveryToHost() synchronized (ugly)
> # Use SMTPMessage.setEnvelopeSender() instead of SMTPSession properties
> Fix 2 is nicer as it preserves concurrency, but it requires that
> mail.getMessage() is always an SMTPMessage (extends MimeMessage). I do not
> know the James code base well enough to be certain of that.
> Any thoughts?
