Nothing shows up in the logs in terms of exceptions. The only thing I do see is a stop() from james when the disconnect happens, but I haven't been able to figure out what is generating it. I'm leaning towards it being something on the James side since both telnet and netscape stop at the same point.

I'll try installing a later version on different ports to see if it behaves any differently and let you know what I find.

That's always helpful. :-)




Attached is a copy of a telnet session to my James server where

Apparently something in the data is causing a disconnect. It might be from James, or it might be something funky with telnet. Anything show up in the logs? POP3Handler should catch IOException, MessagingException, ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, and Exception. James SHOULD generate a log message AND a -ERR response in all cases.



I can generate emails that will cause this problem simply by doing
cat - | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
test
(ctrl-d)





Are there any changes in the latest James that could affect this behavior?
I'm using redhat 8.0, and I'm currently on James 2.1.2.



As a matter of fact, yes, although it should only effect complex MIME messages. Why don't you install a test on another set of ports and see?
