I am using James to process incoming mail and save the
contents to a database. (Note, that I am not
forwarding the mail to users).
In case of a database failure, I would like to queue
up the mail in a custom mail queue and process it
later when the database is available.
For starters, I have a custom mailet where I process
the mail, (myCustomMailet.java). When I detect a db
unavailable situation, I do a
jamesMail.setState("myprocessor");
which moves the mail to the myqueue directory.
I have created a processor called "myprocessor" in the
config.xml file to which, I forward mail, when the db
is
down.
<processor name="myprocessor">
<mailet match="All" class="ToRepository">
<repositoryPath>file://${app.home}/../../../mail-queue/myqueue/</repositoryPath>
</mailet>
</processor>
Subsequently, when the db comes up, I shutdown James
and move the contents of the myqueue directory to the
spool directory. I restart James, hoping that the
mails would now be processed, but for some reason
James does not process them and returns them back to
the myqueue directory.
Ideally, I would like to write a matcher/mailet that
would fetch from myqueue (if there are any files) and
dump them into the spool queue.
Another question along those lines is, how do I fetch
mail from a particular queue ?
Thanks
