Re: Mailet question
Here is a snippet from JDBCVirtualUserTable that does this kind of
thing, so you know where to start searching:
getMailetContext().sendMail(mail.getSender(), recipientsToAddForward,
mail.getMessage());
recipientsToAddForward is a Collection of MailAddress(es).

Subject: Mailet question
James vers 2.1.2
OS - Win2K
I have a mailet that monitors all outbound messages and under certain
conditions adds a CC recipient
I know the mailet executes because the headers of the outbound
messages show
the added CC recipient address.
However, the message is not delivered to this special address.
The SMTP log shows message being spooled to all other recipients
(to/cc/bcc)
except for the one that I added
I am including the service method as well as the changes to the config.xml
file.
What am I missing ?
The service method looks somewhat like this
public void service(Mail mailObj) throws javax.mail.MessagingException
{
MimeMessage msg = mailObj.getMessage();
boolean evalSuccess = evalConditions();
if (evalSuccess)
{
msg.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.CC, [EMAIL PROTECTED]);
}
}
In the config file the the mailet has been configured at the very begining
of the transport processor
processor name=transport
!-- add custom address to the CC List --
mailet match=All class=CCSender /-- my mailet
!-- Is the recipient is for a local account, deliver it locally --
mailet match=RecipientIsLocal class=LocalDelivery/
!-- If the host is handled by this server and it did not get --
!-- locally delivered, this is an invalid recipient --
mailet match=HostIsLocal class=ToProcessor

[off topic] Re: How to hook into James/Phoenix Logging routines ?
Hi Richard, There really isn't a disconnected way of doing it built into James. It's just a matter of using standard Java designs to accomplish the task (I'll explain below to point you in the right direction). This message is off topic for the list, but maybe it might help someone else out, so please forgive me if I transgress too far. :) If you want your XmlRpcHandler to be disconnected from the Mailet context, my suggestion is: 1) Define your own logger interface (could simply contain one method... public void mylog( String msg )... ). This could be a java file like 10 lines long (but don't use the method name log() it will collide with the existing log() method in GenericMailet). I'll call it MyLogger.. 2) Have your mailet implement the MyLogger interface and add a method to the mailet called mylog() that simply calls log(), which is the standard way a mailet writes to the mailet-xxx.log 3) Have your XmlRpcHandler constructor take a reference to an instance of MyLogger. Then when constructing it, pass 'this' to it. 4) Whenever your XmlRpcHanldler wants to log a message, it calls the mylog() method on it's MyLogger. The above should get you a basic framework where your XmlRpcHandlers can write log messages without knowing where they are being called from. Kenny Smith JournalScape.com Richard Clark wrote: Hi, I am new to James, and have also only been working with Java for a few months (C die hard), so forgive me if I am missing a blatantly obvious answer ;) My question is, Is it possible (and how) to call/hook into the logging functions of James.

Re: InSpammerBlackList not behaving?
NXDOMAIN == Non-eXistant Domain == host does not exist :-) Ok, then I'm really confused now. Because according to my log, InSpammerBlacklist is saying these hosts DO exist. While I'm in this testing phase, I'm not actually ditching the emails that match InSpammerBlacklist, I'm just adding a mail header to them and flagging those mails with a different color in my inbox. For example, emails sent from localhost: # java -cp lib/dnsjava-1.3.2.jar dig 1.0.0.127.relays.ordb.org ; java dig 0.0 ;; -HEADER- opcode: STATUS, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 24769 From my mailet log: InSpammerBlacklist: Looking up 127.0.0.1: 1.0.0.127.relays.ordb.org InSpammerBlacklist: 1.0.0.127.relays.ordb.org exists The way it determines if it exists is by doing a getByName() and if an UnknownHostException is not thrown, then the host exists.

Re: Redirect class in Mailet Api
Hi Hut, You may be confused between the Mailet API and Mailets that exist in the James API. The Mailet API is a bunch of interfaces that define the contracts that Mailets should follow. Using these interfaces, the James group has implemented actual Mailets that conform to the Mailet spec.

You don't need to specify any other SMTP server in your configuration. servernames is where you put your DNS server. Since you're running windows, just type ipconfig /all in a command window and copy the IP addresses you see under DNS Servers as servernames. Do not specify a gateway, start up your server, and you should be set. If email doesn't get through, it is most likely because your ISP is blocking you from sending email.

Connection to James shaky (network is stable though)
Hi all, I've got a weird one for you. I have a user who has two POP accounts running on the same James server (jenn and jslang are the user names). Sometimes when she's checking her jenn account (with Outlook via POP3) she will get an error about not being able to contact the server. In the pop server log I find this (some edits have been made only to make the lines shorter): 03/06/03 10:17:48 ERROR pop3server: Exception during connection from adsl-67-119-139-124.dsl.lsan03.pacbell.net (67.119.139.124) : Socket closed java.net.SocketException: Socket closed at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:162) at sun.nio.cs.StreamDecoder$CharsetSD.readBytes(StreamDecoder.java:406) at sun.nio.cs.StreamDecoder$CharsetSD.implRead(StreamDecoder.java:446) at sun.nio.cs.StreamDecoder.read(StreamDecoder.java:180) at java.io.InputStreamReader.read(InputStreamReader.java:167) at java.io.BufferedReader.fill(BufferedReader.java:136) at java.io.BufferedReader.readLine(BufferedReader.java:299) at java.io.BufferedReader.readLine(BufferedReader.java:362) at o.a.j.pop3server.POP3Handler.handleConnection(POP3Handler.java:307) at o.a.j.util.connection.ServerConnection$ClientConnectionRunner.run(ServerConnection.java:462) at o.a.a.excalibur.thread.impl.ExecutableRunnable.execute(ExecutableRunnable.java:47) at o.a.a.excalibur.thread.impl.WorkerThread.run(WorkerThread.java:80) The weird part is that she NEVER has a problem when checking the jslang account, even though they are on the same server.

Re: SMTP AUTH scares me...
Hi Danny, I've totally found James/SMTP-AUTH to be totally rocking too, but this problem I had with the lan at work made it appear that when I telneted to james and issued the ehlo, that no AUTH LOGIN PLAIN was returned. I downloaded Ethereal on my workstation and fired up ngrep on the james box so that I could sniff the network locally on both machines. In the ngrep on the mail server I could see James responding with the AUTH LOGIN PLAIN but in the sniff from my local workstation there was no such thing. The firewall was stripping it out, presumably so that it could proxy the connections to mail servers and handle any SMTP-AUTH automatically. Very weird. Kenny Smith Danny Angus wrote: Many firewalls handle SMTP differently than other connections. Usually they simply filter packets based on their source and destination. It is often possible, however, for firewalls to be setup to proxy SMTP traffic on port 25. This allows the firewall to use services such as RBL's (Relay Black Lists) to block mail from known open relays, and possibly implement other rules. I don't think this is your issue though. When you connect from anywhere and issue EHLO you should get 250 AUTH LOGIN PLAIN but you are only required to actually authenticate yourself if the RCPT TO recipients are not local.

Re: What Causes: IOException: Could not find message
Hi Noel,
Well, this is my situation... I have potentially two instances of James
using the same tables for reading/writing.
I'm moving ISPs right so, I've got my original James using the mysql on
my new server, in addition to the james on my new server using those
same tables.
I added some debug stuff already and did what you described below with
adding the query and params to the message so I could see what's going
on. At this point, I'm hoping the server/dns switch will only be going
on for another 6 or 7 hours, so I have more pressing things to deal with
until then. I'm sure it will be just fine once we are back to one James
accessing the tables.
Thanks for your response! Helpful as always! :)

Noel J. Bergman wrote:
Kenny,
Never seen that message, but it is concerning that you are seeing it. The
IOException could be more descriptive by telling you the message name (key)
that it was using, but basically it means that it did a query using the
message name and repository name, and got a bad response from:
SELECT message_body FROM ${table} WHERE message_name = ? AND
repository_name = ?
you might want to check your database.
What appears to be happening is that James is being asked to store a message
that is already in a JDBC store (the spool) into a user inbox. At the
particular point where the exception occurs, it is trying to open an input
stream on the message headers.

Hi alan, Most likely! When I originally wrote it, I barely knew anything about James (not too much has changed *smile*) so I couldn't add cool things like that into it.

Re: A safe SenderIsLocal matcher?
Hi Vincenzo, Are the people sending messages on the same network in your office or are they distributed out on the internet? If they are in an office situation, you can simply restrict the logic based on the network. There is an example of it in the default james config.xml mailet match=RemoteAddrNotInNetwork=127.0.0.1 class=ToProcessor processor spam /processor /mailet This sends anything that isn't from localhost to the spam processor. You could use this to control access to your lists. Kenny Smith JournalScape.com Vincenzo Gianferrari Pini wrote: I need a matcher that checks if the sender of a message is a local user. I wrote (very simple task indeed) such matcher (SenderIsLocal, a kind of mix of SenderIs and RecipientIsLocal). If anyone is ever interested in it just let me know. But there is a possible hole in it. Here follows my problem and question. The reason why I need this matcher is to have, in the config.xml file, a message coming from a local user of my company go to a special processor that will try to match against some RecipientIS conditions that will have the message spread (using either class=AvalonListserv or class=Redirect) to one or more large lists of local users and/or customers. As just said, it is imperative for me that only *local users* may send messages to such lists, and it must be verifiable in the logs. The matcher I wrote works perfectly, but anyone from outside could just fake the sender email address using a legitimate local user address and have a spam or nasty message sent to lots of people, even customers, acting as someone else (also someone from inside could use someone else's name and damage). I can (and have) set both SMTP and to true in my config.xml file, but unfortunately this is not enough, as such checks are being done only for messages not going to local recipients, and my lists are local recipients themselves. So here is my question: is there any way in the matcher Java code to check for the sender having been authenticated and verified (even when all recipients are local), instead of checking if (mailetContext.isLocalServer(senderMailAddress.getHost()) mailetContext.isLocalUser(senderMailAddress.getUser()))? I would need the equivalent of something like if (mailetContext.isSenderAuthenticated() mailetContext.isSenderVerified()). Or is there any other way to obtain my goal? Can someone help me?

Really slow spooling again... :(
Hi all, I'm having all of my mail backup in the spool tables (using JDBC) with a message_state of 'transport'. I've turned up my logging to DEBUG, but I'm not seeing anything in the logs that looks relevant to slow performance. I sent 230 email 2 hours ago and there are still 190 in the spool/transport waiting to get sent. I saw the recent conversation about indexes on the spool table causing slow downs after a while, so I stopped James, dumped the table, removed the indicies, put the table back in and started James up.

What is in the Error Field in the Spool table?
Hey all, I'm using the JDBC classes, so my spool is stored in a table. My co-worker sent out an invite to like 200 people and most of it has been sitting in the spool for like an hour now. It's been slowing shrinking (down to 120 now)... however, there isn't anything in the error field. Why would it be taking so long without an error?

Upgrade to 2.1
Hi all, I've been running 2.1a1-cvs and I wanted to upgrade to the new full 2.1 release, but when I start the new one up, it says that it's 2.1a1-cvs. What I did: I went to my root james directory and did a cvs update.. it updated a whole bunch of files. I ran build.sh and it compiled everything and created a dist/james-2.1 directory. I ran it once to explode the sar and then copied my config.xml into the new james-2.1 place.

Re: Debug startup of James
Hey Tom, The thing is though, a .sar file is NOT a .jar or a .war. Your .war file is assumed to have a WEB-INF directory with specific information in it. A sar file doesn't have that structure, so it's not that they just gave it a different name, it is a different thing. They tried to follow the convention of the filename.?ar pattern. We've got jar, war, ear... sar makes perfect sense. I understand it causes problems for you when debugging... does IDEA support ant? Perhaps you can add the commands to update your sar and bar files before you debug. Kenny Smith JournalScape.com Tom wrote: Original Message- From: Noel J.

I know they are just Java Archive files, but it makes working with Avalon/Phoenix/James, etc. a pain with an IDE because they only (AFAIK with IDEA) only recognize .JAR files. The SAR file is the Avalon project's idea of how to package applications, just as the Servlet folks defined a WAR file. And there should only be a SAR file with James v2.1. And I don't recommend working with any other version. I don't want to turn this into a philosophical discussion, but I was just questioning why someone chose to create a custom extension. While it makes sense for the application in question, it creates all sorts of compatibility blips in the market. For example, my problem of having to create duplicate SAR files (one named SAR and one named JAR) just so my particular IDE (IDEA in this case) can compile everything. Granted, there are always ways around it, and the WAR extension, if I am not mistaken is a SUN/Java standard, which makes it a little bit higher in the acceptance chain (in my book) for applications to support it (heck, it's part of a standard). I guess I was just frustrated when I came along the SAR, and BAR stuff. It just slowed me down in development, and created a sloppier environment for me (having to remember if the SAR or BAR was updated at some point, to copy them over to supported extensions).

As for the blackhole behind the firewall scenario - you are absolutely right. On thinking about it, I suspect this is actually preferable to rejection. IMO blackholes are preferable to rejection on the basis that they provide no information whatsoever to the sender, this is one guiding principle of firewalls, try telnetting to a port protected by a firewall and your connection just times out, you have no idea whether you were denied access, if there was a problem connecting, or even if the machine really exists on the network. By the same token I believe that spam blackholes leave potential spammers unable to determine if a real mail service is running, if it is broken, or if their mail has been rejected, and it certainly doesn't help them to determine who the real local users may be. In my experience spammers will probe SMTP with mail sent to themselves via an MTA, if that mail is not recieved (and blackholes, by definition, don't deliver it) they will move on and look for other MTA's to probe. I've seen as many as a dozen such probe attempts in a single day, but no more than this and usually only one

Urgent Help: SMTP-AUTH/Relaying Config
Hello all, I'm having a really bad problem with my James configuration and I don't know how to resolve it. My end goal is this: The employees are all outside the network on cable modems and such. I need them to be able to send email to the outside world, but prevent spammers from taking advantage of james as an open relay. I thought SMTP-AUTH was the solution to this, perhaps it is and I've just configured it wrong. :/ When I turn SMTP-AUTH on, then when people outside the network send email to employees the remote mail server gets denied because it didn't authenticate. Help! What am I doing wrong? I lost a days worth of email today and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any help is appreciated. My config.xml file is attached.

RE: Reasoning For Flagging as Spam... outgoing spam?
Hi Chris, Thanks for the response. There are already messages in the notice blocks, but I'm not seeing any messages in the database. Do you know where I should look to find them? I've done so more research and it looks like the only messages in the spam repository are outgoing messages.

Multiple Recipient Aliases
Hi all, I'm taking my next step toward full James functionality :) I'm trying to setup multiple receipient aliases, like [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] So that an email to support will go to both kenny and jenn.

RE: Multiple Recipient Aliases
Hi Noel, Thanks, I'll use your suggestion until the VirtualUserTable is upgraded. JDBCVirtualUserTable does not have that functionality at this time. I think it is mentioned in the comments as a future TODO, along with some other features from sendMail's virtual user table. If I could, I don't know what you have planned, but a feature that I'd like to have... Some of my users and have hundreds or thousands of email addresses in their lists. We are currently using the :include:/path/to/file functionality of sendmail. I'd love to create another table that has a one-to-many relationship with with virt user table, so we can associate an arbitrary number of emails with a list. Also, if there is anything I can do to help or facilitate the new code in any way, just let me know. I'm fairly adept with Java, but super newbie when it comes to James/Phoenix/Avalon.

RE: Multiple Recipient Aliases
Hi Danny, I'm currently running a mailet which does this, IMO its a nice way to do this, aliases, mailing lists, forwarding are all controlled from a single web interface maintaining three tables, people, lists and list-people. do try to roll your own, its worth it. (and if its nice, submit it to James or www.mailet.org) Not a bad idea, I'll give that a try. Is it ok (or even preferred) if I use an existing James Mailet as a skeleton? Noel's JDBCVirtualUserTable is probably already very close to what I need.

Forgive the verbosity, but I want to make sure the words I'm using as the same words that James understands: I want to setup a POP account named 'kmail' and I want to setup an alias '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' that points at 'kmail', so that email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will then be available when I login as 'kmail' and download my email. This is what happens when I telnet in: --- snip -- Welcome root. HELP for a list of commands adduser kmail User kmail added setalias kmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Alias unknown to server - create that user first. --- snip -- Am I just misunderstanding? Is there a faq (I've read the one on the website) that goes over basic setup and usage beyond the initial installation of james? Any help is appreciated, thanks.
