Which JVM? If 1.4.2, you *must* update to the very latest. There was a bug
in all other versions of 1.4.2 that caused a decode error.
In any event, the loop is being caused by an exception in the error
processor. If you use the current James test build, you can use this:
<mailet match="All"
onMailetException="ignore"
class="NotifyPostmaster">
...
</mailet>
You won't get the notification, but you won't get the loop, either.
Actually, you should not get a loop like that, period. I think that was a
bug we've already fixed.

Subject: Abuse or Configuration
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!
