             Summary: SPFHandler affects rejecting mail
                 Key: JAMES-1414
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-1414
             Project: JAMES Server
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SMTPServer
    Affects Versions: 3.0-beta4
         Environment: Running Java 1.6.0_32 (64 bits) on a dedicated server 
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (64bits).
            Reporter: Jordi Ferran
            Priority: Minor


I started to play with SMTPServer handler and I discovered external mails send 
to James are rejected.
No explicit "reject" keyword is seen in log file, but this is the reality, none 
enter.
I've discovered that the SPFHandler is the cause to disrupt.
I've looked into the source code, I modified configuration parameters, but I do 
not fully comprehend the reason to reject the mail.

The log says:
Id='1135436670' User='' No Sender or HELO/EHLO present

The configuration:
            <handler class="org.apache.james.smtpserver.fastfail.SPFHandler">
                <blockSoftFail>false</blockSoftFail>
                <blockPermError>false</blockPermError>
                <checkAuthNetworks>false</checkAuthNetworks>
            </handler>

My interpretation:
"No Sender" => Not authorized user logged (no sender for controlled domains) => 
OK
"No HELO/EHLO" => OK, two external servers are not using this command => OK to 
me, I do not enforce the use of HELO/EHLO.

Looking at the source code seems that in this situation (this log appears), the 
method returns without rejecting the email, but the true effect is that somehow 
the mail is never handled to the mailbox.

Right now I don't know how to handle this problem. If it is my fault, I would 
appreciate an indication on how to configure the handler.

Thanks in advance.
