Hello Mahesh, I don't know "Load Runner". But I do know something about "mail errors". So here is my opinion.
There are some common mail errors, like the ones you mentioned: - mail address without <> - boundary errors (missing boundry, etc) - filename errors (like missing "" around filenames) Most of the time we get this errors in spam mails or in virus mails. So if you have got a spam and virus blocking firewall before James, the wrong formatted mails may just get deleted. And may be the "Load Runner" mails get lost to, if your firewall thinks it is a spam mail. We normally do not have "real mails" with this errors, only spam and virus. These common mail errors may lead to an error in james, but strictliy speaking it is an error in the "SUN Java Mail API" Implementation (mail.jar). There are a few "options" you could set when you start james. If you set this options, this wrong formatted mail may be handled not "so strict" as defined by the mail standard. E.g. you could set the options in the /etc/init.d/phonix.sh startup-script on linux, like (in one line): export PHOENIX_JVM_OPTS="-Dmail.mime.applefilenames=true -Dmail.mime.parameters.strict=false -Dmail.mime.ignoreunknownencoding=true -Dmail.mime.encodeeol.strict=true -Dmail.mime.multipart.ignoremissingendboundary=true -Dmail.mime.multipart.ignoremissingboundaryparameter=true" This may help in handling the mails. And yes, firewalls may correct the syntax. And I think your are right with: “the email sent from the Load Runner may not be conforming to the SMTP standards. Our gateway is tolerant to these non-standard clients and might be formatting the SMTP message as per the standard” Regards, Bernd Waibel -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Mahesh Sivarama Pillai [mailto:srm...@gmail.com] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 28.

The load test tool being used is Load Runner. We have a corporate mail gateway to relay messages to internal mail servers. But we are not supposed to use it for Load Testing. So we have to send the email directly to the James server from Load Runner. Our Observation - When we send email through gateway from Load Runner, the email is received at our Internal Email server (James 2.3.2) without any issues - When we send the email directly to our internal James server, there are SMTP errors thrown like Syntax Error in MAIL command etc. - When I put the from address between "<" and ">" in LoadRunner script, "Syntax Error in MAIL command" got resolved. - Then I started getting some Message boundary exceptions. - When I use a Java Mail client and directly send the email to our internal server, there are no issues. - What I am thinking is (I may be wrong) “the email sent from the Load Runner may not be conforming to the SMTP standards. Our gateway is tolerant to these non-standard clients and might be formatting the SMTP message as per the standard” Is this understanding correct ? Please provide your inputs on this behavior. Have you ever come across this kind of scenarios and how it was resolved ? Any input would be highly appreciated.
