Hi List,
today one of my JAMES installations developed an interesting (and annoying!)
behavior. It works perfectly for hours, but suddendly this stack trace appears
in the smtpserver log file:
**********

>From this moment no more mail gets spooled or delivered. JAMES still listens on
port 25 and accepts mails but it closes the connection prematurely. At the
moment i have no other option as to constantly check for the exception and
restart JAMES afterwards. Then it works fine again. Sadly, I haven't yet found a
pattern or a reproducable test case.
At this point I don't have a clue what could cause this problem. Maybe there are
just too many sockets open? I am using JAMES 2.3.1 and I never had this problem
with 2.3.0. This doesn't mean that it wouldn't also occur with 2.3.0, but this
is a productive system and I don't like the idea of downgrading just for testing
things out.
I can provide more background information if needed.
Maybe someone can point me in the right direction?
many thanks,
Michael
