Dear James Users, We have been using james-2.3.2 almost since it was released. We find that after a while customers start to complain that emails are not going out. We usually then have to delete the james-plus/ directory which also then deletes the subdirectory of james-2.3.2/apps/james-plus/var/mail/outgoing and restart James with the james-plus.jar in the apps directory so it automatically re-creates all the directories. Then the emails start going out again. 1. Once emails are sent should they automatically be deleted from the outgoing directory? Or should the files in the outgoing directory for the outgoing emails, just keep building up forever? 2. Why after the outgoing directory has about 2500 files in it, do the emails stop being sent?
Below is part of our configuration file: <!-- Attempt remote delivery using the specified repository for the spool, --> <!-- using delay time to retry delivery and the maximum number of retries --> <mailet match="All" class="RemoteDelivery"> <outgoing> file://var/mail/outgoing/ </outgoing> <!-- alternative database repository example below --> <!-- <outgoing> db://maildb/spool/outgoing </outgoing> --> <!-- Delivery Schedule based upon RFC 2821, 4.5.4.1 --> <!-- 5 day retry period, with 4 attempts in the first hour, two more within the first 6 hours, and then every 6 hours for the rest of the period. --> <delayTime> 5 minutes </delayTime> <delayTime> 10 minutes </delayTime> <delayTime> 45 minutes </delayTime> <delayTime> 2 hours </delayTime> <delayTime> 3 hours </delayTime> <delayTime> 6 hours </delayTime> <maxRetries> 25 </maxRetries> <!-- The number of threads that should be trying to deliver outgoing messages --> <deliveryThreads> 1 </deliveryThreads> <!-- If false the message will not be sent to given server if any recipients fail --> <sendpartial>false</sendpartial> <!-- By default we send bounces to the "bounce" processor --> <!-- By removing this configuration James will fallback to hardcoded bounce --> <!-- notifications --> <bounceProcessor>bounces</bounceProcessor> If there is anything further you require, please feel free to contact us.
