Body:
I'm afraiud the problem is not potential but quite real and reproducible.
We have nailed down the problem to the following:
- Open a conenection to James
- Give the HELO, MAIL FROM, RCPT TO and DATA commands
- Close the connection after the DATA command. (On Windows, the most effective way to
do this is by closing the telnet window)
James will deliver a stub message.
Here is a log of a test run. Please try a similar test on a local James installation.

No exception occurs, so the mail is processed. Since no data is specified, only a stub
message is delivered.
Other mail servers we tested (Exchange. Sendmail, Exim) do not process the message
when presented with this data.

Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JAMES-282
Summary: Mail not correctly deliverd after DNS time-out on From: address
Type: Bug
Status: Unassigned
Priority: Major
Project: James
Components:
DNSServer
SMTPServer
Versions:
2.2.0RC2
2.2.0RC3
2.1.3
Assignee:
Reporter: Hes Siemelink
Created: Mon, 10 May 2004 6:46 AM
Updated: Wed, 19 May 2004 6:46 AM
Environment: Windows 2000
Description:
Some emails keep hanging in my sendmail queue. When they are delivered through James I
receive a crippled version (no subject, no body) and an error is sent back to Sendmail
that the message could not be delivered. The message keeps hanging in the queue and
blocks delivery of all messages that are behind it.
We can accurately reproduce the problem by filling in an address in the 'From' header
that can not be resolved by DNS.
This problem might by hard to reproduce and I apologise for the lengthy description
that follows. I don't know what's going on exactly but I think it would be best to
give you plenty of information.
I will try to give an accurate description of the situation.
The email I try to send is:
From: "Tom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: "Hes Siemelink" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: TEST unkown From
Date: Tue, 2 Mar 2004 12:46:05 +0100
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Hi Hes,
Thanks for the info.
Tom
The domain 'xxxxx.org' can not be found in the DNS:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] hes]$ dig xxxxx.org
; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> xxxxx.org
;; global options: printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
If I change the domain in the from address to [EMAIL PROTECTED], delivery is fine.
In a test run, the message is first sent to our Sendmail server. Sendmail attempts to
deliver it to the recipient '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Here is a transcript of what happens
then:
Forcing the attempted delivery of mail with the command /usr/lib/sendmail -v -q

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Deferred: Connection reset by extra3.izecom.com.
... etc ...
Note that the 123 messages are never delivered.
In the James logs I can see the delivery of the first message was succesful.
10/05/04 15:23:44 INFO smtpserver : Successfully spooled mail

The James server in this case functions as a relay. Mail is delivered to an Exchange
server (running at 192.168.0.18). The (reconstructed) email that is received is:
Received: from izecom-martijn ([192.168.0.18]) by izecom-martijn.exchange.izecom.com
with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.6713);

Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Received: from 192.168.0.1 ([192.168.0.1])

for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>;
Mon, 10 May 2004 15:23:44 +0200 (CEST)
Date: Mon, 10 May 2004 15:23:44 +0200 (CEST)
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

X-OriginalArrivalTime: 10 May 2004 13:23:44.0295 (UTC) FILETIME=[0490F370:01C43692]
So... other points of interest:
* There is similar behavior with James 2.1.3. In stead of "Deferred" the SMTP
response of james is I/O error.
* The problem does not occur if I talk to directly to James. It is only in
combination with Sendmail.
* The problem does not occur id I talk to directly to Exchange.
* Mailets/Matchers in use: ToProcessor, RemoteAddrInNetwork, RemoteAddrNotInNetwork,
RecipientIsLocal, HostIsLocal and two custom Mailets: Log and ChangeRecipientDomain
And one question: why does the value of the From field matter?
Please help!
Thanks
Hes.
