Me again, I solved the problem - apparently James didn't like the installation of the James-Source into the same directory after installing the James binaries ... seems to be a class inconsistency problem, as the written MailImpl-Object cannot be read in by stream.read() again in this case. When James is installed without the source, it works fine :-).
Ciao, Matthias >>> Matthias Fesich<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10/17/02 06:54pm >>> Hi all, I just installed James 2.0a3-cvs on my PC (Windows 2000), added a user and inserted the DNS server address into the config.xml. Starting up with run.bat is working fine, but as soon as I send myself an email to myuser@[<my_ip_adress] I get a NullPointerException in the JamesSpoolManager.run procedure (line 207, that's when the mail.getName() function is called: MailImpl mail = spool.retrieve(key); getLogger().info("==== Begin processing mail " + mail.getName() + " ===="); ) The following is the error stack: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.james.transport.JamesSpoolManager.run(JamesSpoolManager.java:207) at org.apache.avalon.excalibur.thread.impl.ExecutableRunnable.execute(ExecutableRunnable.java:47) at org.apache.avalon.excalibur.thread.impl.WorkerThread.run(WorkerThread.java:86) The result is, that although the james.log tells me '1034873030704 [INFO ] (James): Mail Mail1034873030494-0 pushed in spool' there is no mail saved anywhere ... The smtpserver.log looks alright, too: 1034873029963 [INFO ] (smtpserver): Connection from cpl-upo-mail1.cpl.xxx.com (143.2.74.57) 1034873030083 [INFO ] (smtpserver): Command received: EHLO cpl-emea-mail1.cpl.xxx.com 1034873030183 [INFO ] (smtpserver): Command received: MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 1034873030283 [INFO ] (smtpserver): Command received: RCPT TO:<mf@[129.23.78.249]> 1034873030383 [INFO ] (smtpserver): Command received: DATA 1034873030704 [INFO ] (smtpserver): Mail sent to Mail Server 1034873030794 [INFO ] (smtpserver): Command received: QUIT But the spoolmanager.log says: 1034872888169 [INFO ] (spoolmanager): run JamesSpoolManager: default Worker #10 1034872888179 [INFO ] (spoolmanager): spool=org.apache.james.mailrepository.AvalonSpoolRepository 1034873030734 [ERROR ] (spoolmanager): Exception in JamesSpoolManager.run null As James is running everywhere else apparently ;-), I suppose it's a configuration problem or something. Can anybody offer any help?
