Description:
Hello
I posted about this problem a while ago on the list. I see that James 2.2.0RC2 still
contains this issue so I've taken the liverty of creating a Jira entry.
We experienced some unexpected behavior with James 2.1.3 when sending a message that
has two Return-Path headers.
An example of such a message:
Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
From: "Brinkers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: Return-Path mail
Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2003 22:36:33 -0500
Hoi
James transforms this into something like
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
content-class: urn:content-classes:message
Subject:
Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2004 12:02:16 +0100
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Received: from vallum.intra.izecom.com ([192.168.0.1])
by uffizi.intra.izecom.com (JAMES SMTP Server 2.1.3) with SMTP
ID 302
for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>;

Hoi
It seems that new headers are created and the original headers start with after a
blank line, causing them to be interpreted as a message body.
In Outlook, this is displayed as a message without Subject or From field, where the
message body starts with the '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' followed by the original headers.
Now putting the Return-Path twice in your headers is probably not a good idea, but we
do happen to have some emails that have that in our test set and would like to process
them in a reasonable way.
So we investigated the James source code trying to find the cause for this unexpected
behavior.
In org.apache.james.smtpserver.SMTPHandler in the method
processMailHeaders() we found the following call to retrieve the Return-Path header.
// Determine the Return-Path
String returnPath =
headers.getHeader(RFC2822Headers.RETURN_PATH,
"\r\n");
This roughly means "Give me all Return-Path headers separated by line breaks.". Later
on, this returnPath String is put on top of all headers.
We deduced that if there is more than one Return-Path header, this will result in
something like
Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
From: "Brinkers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: Return-Path mail
Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2003 22:36:33 -0500
Hoi
where that the second line ('[EMAIL PROTECTED]') is interpreted as the start of the
message body later on, causing new headers to be invented and the old headers to
dispappear on the message body.
We changed the call to get the getHeader() in processMailHeaders() to pass a null
argument:
// Determine the Return-Path
String returnPath =
headers.getHeader(RFC2822Headers.RETURN_PATH, null);
which roughly means "Give only one Return-Path header".
After recompiling and deploying James, our test mails passed James correctly.
We would appreciate it if this fix, or a similar one, could be included in the next
James release.
Thank you
