Stefano Bagnara reassigned JAMES-623:
-------------------------------------
Assignee: Norman Maurer
> make InetAddress.getLocalHost() and hello_name usage consistent across the
> application
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: JAMES-623
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-623
> Project: James
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: DNSServer, FetchMail, James Core, Matchers/Mailets
> (bundled), Remote Delivery, SMTPServer
> Reporter: Stefano Bagnara
> Assigned To: Norman Maurer
> Fix For: Next Major
>
>
> We currently (in trunk) have the following usages:
> A. core.AbstractJamesService.
> - read the helloName configuration.
> - if autodetect is true then try "InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName()"
> and on exception "localhost"
> - otherwise it uses the "localhost" child of helloHame.
> B. dnsserver.DNSServer.
> - in initialize(), if no dnsserver has been added try to add
> "InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName()" and revert to "127.0.0.1" on
> exception
> C. fetchmail.MessageProcessor
> - computing a remote address, if it does not find the domain part it append
> the localhost and calulate it this way:
> InetAddress.getByName(InetAddress.getByName(InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress()).getHostName()).getHostName()
> and default to "[127.0.0.1]" on exception.
> D. fetchmail.ParsedConfiguration
> - to compute default domain name:
> InetAddress.getByName(InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress()).getHostName();
> and defaults to "localhost" on exception
> E. transport.mailets.AbstractRedirect, AbstractVirtualUserTable, DSNBounce
> - to set the RemoteAddr and RemoteHost for a locally generated mail:
> java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress() with fallback to
> "127.0.0.1" and InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName() with fallback to
> "localhost".
> F. transport.mailets.RemoteDelivery and DSNBounce
> - to set the text part of a bounce message
> InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName() and fallback to [address unknown]
> (replace "[machine]" machine pattern with the result of the localhost).
> G. James
> - hostname = InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName() with fallback to
> "localhost".
> - put this in DefaultContext in the "HostName" key: not used by anyone.
> - if <servernames>/<autodetect> is true and hostname is not "localhost" add
> it to servernames (but lowercase it before).
> - use it as fallback as domain part of postmaster if no other servername (not
> autodected and not "localhost" has been found).
> I'll try to define a proposal to fix this, later. Now I just wanted to share
> the result of a code review about this issue.
