I did a little digging in the logs and I was able to find these repeated log entries in the mailet-* logs (I removed the actual email address/dns info to protect the innocent):

This group of messages repeated from 8pm 4/12 when the message was sent by one of my users until 2:30 4/13 when I killed the server and removed all of the outgoing mail messages. It looks like they repeat in 3 minute increments.

What I think is happening though is the other server that james is trying to send to is not allowing for such a large message and is just terminating the connection.

It appears that james takes the termination as a network error and retries immediately (and gets itself into a loop). Has anyone else seen this type of issue? Any solutions? I'm even willing to work through some of the james code if I could get a pointer or two with which classes to start with in my debugging attempts.


What version are you running? I can't think of how our error handling would try to immediately resend without incrementing the attempt counter. Maybe it's an old version with a bug that's since been fixed.
