[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-320?page=comments#action_12318235 ]
Stefano Bagnara commented on JAMES-320: --------------------------------------- I think I've rewritten the CRLFTerminatedReader a few months ago. Can you test the latest trunk for this issue or at least compare your patch with the new code? I'm not able to reproduce the problem with the mail in attachment. > Some messages cause POP3 output stream to freeze on RETR. > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JAMES-320 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-320 > Project: James > Type: Bug > Components: POP3Server > Versions: 2.2.0 > Environment: Server: > Fedora Core 2 Linux (x86) > Sun J2SDK 1.4.2_04 > Clients: > FreeBSD/Thunderbird > FreeBSD/Telnet > Windows XP/Outlook > Windows XP/Telnet > Reporter: Greg Duffy > Priority: Critical > Attachments: BadMessage2.mail > > I've been using James on my personal server since about 2.1.3. My domains > receive a good deal of spam (on the order of ~1000 per day, spread over the > e-mail accounts I host and the postmaster address). > Some of these messages contain attachments (usually virii) that seem to > contain characters that will stop the POP3 transmission in the middle of a > RETR. > Basically, this means that when you RETR an offending message, GUI mail > clients time out and telnet sessions just hang until you escape to console > and quit. > If the message is first in the list, this means most clients will not be able > to retrieve the rest of the messages in the inbox. > The only end-user solution is to telnet in, DELE the offending message(s), > and then RETR the good ones. > I'm going to try to attach a sample of an offending message (I haven't used > JIRA much). Maybe this is a more general problem with some kind of control > characters in the POP3 implementation? > I haven't had a chance to dig in to James's architecture, but I'd love some > pointers. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
