> This one is a fun one!
> h1. The postmortem
> One of my customer complained of missing emails. After investigations, we
> found that some emails for [email protected] where delivered in
> #private:alice:INBOX instead of #private:[email protected]:INBOX. We then
> realized that on some James servers of the cluster were configured with
> virtualhosting off while virtualhosting should have had been on. We then
> realized the configuration files were moved by an admin. The faulty James
> servers were not able to locate their configuration files and thus according
> to JAMES-2004 resorted to the default value with virtualhosting off.
> Implicit configuration is nice to ease James onboarding.
> But as an operator I would like to have the option to enforce explicit
> configuration, and have the safety associated with it.
> h1. Proposal
> Have a JVM property, disabled by default to fail if a configuration file is
> missing.
> `-Djames.fail.on.missing.configuration.file`
