Hi Rick,
Thanks for the reply. I would be happy to help out testing it. However, I
am very new to this community and some guidance is really appreciated. :-)
This should be fairly simple. I built a 1.1.1 version of SMTP code and
placed it here:
http://people.apache.org/~rickmcguire/stage-javamail/geronimo-javamail-transport-1.1.1.jar
Just replace the geronimo-javamail-transport jar file in your 1.1.1
server assembly, and retry your program. That will verify that my fix
is working correctly and I'll be able to commit my fix for the problem.
Unfortunately, the fix won't ship until the next Geronimo update, but
you'll have a corrected jar to run with while you're on 1.1.1.

This is the first time I've encountered an SMTP server that sends a
response back like this. I've opened a JIRA for this issue:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-3427
and I'll take a look at fixing this. Since I don't have access to an
SMTP server that behaves this way, are you willing/able to help try out
potential fixes?

Hi,
I am trying to use the Geronimo Javamail. I have setup the resource and
resource-ref stuff and try to send a mail from the application. I turn
off
the debug flag and see the following in the console:-
...
220-xxx.xxx.xxx ESMTP Exim x.xx #1 Mon, 20 Aug 2007 16:29:11 +0800
EHLO xxxxx
220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicted,
HELO xxxxx
220 and/or bulk email.
...
An exception is then thrown complaining that it fails to send HELO to the
server.
When using telnet xxxx 25 to my SMTP server, I found out that once
connected, the SMTP is sending back three lines of text:-
220-xxx.xxx.xxx ESMTP Exim x.xx #1 Mon, 20 Aug 2007 16:29:11 +0800
220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicted,
220 and/or bulk email.
I then try with a local SMTP using Apache JAMES, which successfully send
the
mail. When I try to telnet localhost 25, it is sending back only one
line
of text:-
220 xxxx SMTP Server (JAMES SMTP Server 2.3.1) ready Mon, 20 Aug 2007
16:32:26 +0800 (SGT)
I am suspecting Geronimo Javamail implementation (version 1.1.1) cannot
be
used on SMTP who sends back more than 1 lines of 220 service ready. I
investigate the source code of
org.apache.geronimo.javamail.transport.smtp.SMTPTransport and study that
getReply() method is using the receiveLine() method to read response from
the server. As receivedLine() is using end of stream (read() ==-1) or CR
or
LF to indicate end of response from server, so in the above scenario each
220 are identified as a response from the server. After receiving the
first
220, the client send a EHLO but fails as the server is sending back the
2nd
220. The client then try to send a HELO but receive the 3rd 220, which
it
finally gave up and throw a fails to send HELO exception.
I have switch to Sun Javamail implementation to solve the problem.
However,
I personally prefer to use Geronimo implementation due to installation
issue. Is there a better way, or is it in the later version (Geronimo
1.2,
2.0, I didn't try :P), the Geronimo Javamail can handle SMTP that sends
more than 1 lines of 220 back to client (like the SMTP server that I am
facing)?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Best Regards,
Chee Seng
