Abuse or Configuration

[Brandon Smith]

I am having major problems with James. Every minute a new log file is generated. I only found this out last night when my server notified me that I was almost out of disk space. I noticed in about three hours nearly 30 GB of log files had been generated. I shut down James in an effort to investigate.   The two log files that are the culprits are the spool and mailet log files. A mailet is generating errors and logging each ToRepository. See below Listing One five entries of one of the mailet log files. You’ll notice that the timestampt is all 10:25:34. There is actually about 150 entries each second. It takes several minutes (15-20) for a mailet log file to get to max capacity and start a new log file. The spool log file is much different.   The spool log file is generating the error found in Listing Two nearly 150 times a second. Once a minute a new 10 MB file is created. In the course of writing this email 6 where generated. What could be the problem? Is James in a loop? Is my James being abused by a spammer? I can’t figure it out…Please help!     Listing One:   19/03/04 10:25:34 INFO  James.Mailet: ToRepository: Storing mail Mail1079693860218-98 in file://var/mail/error/ 19/03/04 10:25:34 INFO  James.Mailet: ToRepository: Storing mail Mail1079693983078-99 in file://var/mail/error/ 19/03/04 10:25:34 INFO  James.Mailet: ToRepository: Storing mail Mail1079693860218-98 in file://var/mail/error/ 19/03/04 10:25:34 INFO  James.Mailet: ToRepository: Storing mail Mail1079693983078-99 in file://var/mail/error/ 19/03/04 10:25:34 INFO  James.Mailet: ToRepository: Storing mail Mail1079693983078-99 in file://var/mail/error/     Listing Two:   19/03/04 10:24:54 ERROR spoolmanager: Exception in JamesSpoolManager.run sun.io.ByteToCharEUC_CN.getIndex1()[S java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: sun.io.ByteToCharEUC_CN.getIndex1()[S             at sun.nio.cs.ext.EUC_CN$Decoder.<init>(EUC_CN.java:50)             at sun.nio.cs.ext.EUC_CN.newDecoder(EUC_CN.java:38)             at java.lang.StringCoding$CharsetSD.<init>(StringCoding.java:166)             at java.lang.StringCoding$CharsetSD.<init>(StringCoding.java:157)             at java.lang.StringCoding.decode(StringCoding.java:213)             at java.lang.String.<init>(String.java:320)             at javax.mail.internet.MimeUtility.decodeWord(MimeUtility.java:741)             at javax.mail.internet.MimeUtility.decodeText(MimeUtility.java:493)             at org.apache.james.core.MimeMessageWrapper.getSubject(MimeMessageWrapper.java:508)             at org.apache.james.transport.mailets.NotifyPostmaster.service(NotifyPostmaster.java:182)             at org.apache.james.transport.LinearProcessor.service(LinearProcessor.java:413)             at org.apache.james.transport.JamesSpoolManager.process(JamesSpoolManager.java:436)             at org.apache.james.transport.JamesSpoolManager.run(JamesSpoolManager.java:366)             at org.apache.avalon.excalibur.thread.impl.ExecutableRunnable.execute(ExecutableRunnable.java:47)             at org.apache.avalon.excalibur.thread.impl.WorkerThread.run(WorkerThread.java:80)
