Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: JAMES-153
    Summary: Looping MessageException causes system stall
       Type: Bug

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Critical

    Project: James
 Components: 
             MailStore & MailRepository
   Versions:
             2.1

   Assignee: 
   Reporter: Oliver Draese

    Created: Tue, 17 Feb 2004 3:20 AM
    Updated: Tue, 17 Feb 2004 3:20 AM
Environment: James 2.1.3 on RedHat Linux (x86) with Sun Java 1.4.2

Description:
James hangs and creates looping exception stack traces within the log files until the 
filesystem runs full and the complete Linux box hangs. The following exception stack 
trace is added again and again (several 1000 times) to the phoenix.console log file in 
the phoenix temp directory, what causes an increadible big log file in temp, so that 
no filesystem space remains free:

In the mailstore log, the following error sequence is repeating several 1000 times:
17/02/04 06:44:41 ERROR mailstore: Exception storing mail: 
javax.mail.MessagingException: Unknown encoding: text
17/02/04 06:44:41 ERROR mailstore: Exception storing mail: 
javax.mail.MessagingException: Unknown encoding: text
17/02/04 06:44:41 ERROR mailstore: Exception storing mail: 
javax.mail.MessagingException: Unknown encoding: text
17/02/04 06:44:41 ERROR mailstore: Exception storing mail: 
javax.mail.MessagingException: Unknown encoding: text
17/02/04 06:44:41 ERROR mailstore: Exception retrieving mail: 
java.lang.RuntimeException: Exception caught while retrieving an object, cause: 
java.io.FileNotFound
Exception: 
/opt/james-2.1.3/apps/james/var/mail/spool/4D61696C313037363939363638313837372D353239373934.Repository.FileObjectStore
 (No such file or directory), so
we're deleting it... good riddance!

The other log files seem to be OK. Wouldn't it be enough to show trace the exception 
once, instead of looping it to all logs? This error occurrs on my system at least once 
per week what causes me to have an extremely instable mail server environment because 
the filesystem is running full all the times and I have to delete all the logs before 
I can go on.

Please let me know, if you need any further information to solve this problem
