Hello all!
I'm a pretty new user to James. I've got to build a pretty heavy mail based
application sometime next year for my company, and I'm beginning to use
James to evaluate it for this use. I'll be creating a totally custom
application that can send out e-mails to our customers from a variety of
groups in the company. It will have to catch bounces and manage them. Plus,
we want complete tracking/reporting of every thing that goes out. James
looks like what I need for all this - it looks great so far.
I'm using the "james-binary-2.1a1-2002-09-24.zip" that I downloaded last
week sometime. I'm writing JavaMail apps using jdk 1.3.1.
What I'm trying to do now is install James on my PC and develop a test bed
for our apps that I'll move onto a Solaris box when it's ready.
Specifically, I'm developing some JUnit tests for existing e-mail apps I
already have.
However, I'm having a couple issues:
I want to be able to write some emails using something like:
Properties props = System.getProperties();
props.put( "mail.transport.protocol", "smtp" );
props.put( "mail.smtp.host", smtpServer );
javax.mail.Session session = javax.mail.Session.getInstance( props, null );
Message msg = new MimeMessage( session );
msg.setRecipient( Message.RecipientType.TO, new
InternetAddress("emailtestto@localhost") ) ;
msg.setRecipient( Message.RecipientType.CC, new
InternetAddress("emailtestcc@localhost") ) ;
msg.setFrom ( new InternetAddress("emailtestto@localhost");
msg.setSubject( "Test Subject");
msg.setText( "This is a test");
msg.setSentDate( new java.util.Date() );
Transport transport = session.getTransport( "smtp" );
transport.addTransportListener( this );
transport.connect();
transport.send( msg );
I've added methods to implement the TransportListener interface. I copied these
methods from another class that I know works corectly.
Here are the issues:
1. I don't seem to get 'callbacks' on the TransportListener interface methods. Not
sure why -
2. Checking for new messages without opening the folder doesn't work. Is
this a supported feature that I may be implementing incorrectly? What's the
best way to determine if a new message is available for a user without
actually having to attempt to read a message (e.g., Message msg =
folder.getMessage(1); then throw an exception if a message isn't there...)
3. Messages to the 'cc' address dissapear. (I'm using file system mailboxes
on my machine to begin with - would move to SQLServer 2000 later likely).
When I send the first message, I can see in the smtp log they are accepted
correctly for the 'to' and 'cc' addresses - and I can see the files show up
in the users' directories. When I send the second message, the 'to'
addressee gets a second message in their directory, but the 'cc' user gets
the second message and their first one disappears. If I send 10 messages,
the 'to' would have ten messages, but the 'cc' would only have the 10th.
(I've done this.) I don't have this problem if I use our Notes server as
the smtp host. The smtp log says all the messages are received correctly.
4. When I send a message and immediately attempt to read it, I read the
messages back only about 75% of the time. When it doesn't work, I can see
the messages in the user's directoy. It's as if I try to read too fast and
miss them. How long should it take for the messages to be procssed and
available for reading?
Thanks for any assistance. I've looked through the list archives for some
of these issues but haven't found what I was looking for. If I can get this
working correctly and get a stable environment then it's likely we'll be
building a relatively complex application on top of James in a few months.
Hopefully I'll be able to contribute at least some debugging then.
Thanks -
Kevin
