Benoit Tellier commented on JAMES-3613:
---------------------------------------
To be noted: this MDC context is re-computed for *each and every message*
leading to one DNS resolution per message received...
Which likely means the above specified limit could be hit with just a few big
messages and no JVM local DNS cache.
I bet we should rather :
- Compute the MDC builder upon establishing the connection
- Save it as a netty connection attachment
- reuse it for follow up messages...
This would prevent multiple MDC recomputation and should be fixing the issue
too.

> Project: James Server
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: IMAPServer, POP3Server, SMTPServer
> Affects Versions: 3.4.0, 3.5.0, 3.6.0
> Reporter: Benoit Tellier

> On gitter: {code:java}
> Running into an odd issue after an application restart. (James 3.4.0 running
> in SpringBoot application). Was working fine, but now seem to be getting
> hung, or at least slow threads, on java.net.Inet6AddressImpl.getHostByAddr as
> called by
> org.apache.james.protocols.netty.ProtocolMDCContext.retrieveHost(ProtocolMDCContext.java:55).
> My environment is Java 11, on Amazon Linux 2, on EC2.

> this seems to have been caused by too many incoming SMTP connections. Showed
> up in an odd way, but by decreasing the inbound connections this issue has
> stopped happening...
> Likely some rate limit on DNS resolution.
> Proposal: switch from `getHostName` to `getHostString` to prevent the DNS
> resolution.
