Hi -
We have been running James 2.3.0 for a couple months now.  Recently I
configured the FromRepository mailet to re-send our failed emails, which
worked successfully:

         <mailet match="All" class="FromRepository">
             <repositoryPath>file://var/mail/error</repositoryPath>
             <processor> transport </processor>
             <delete>true</delete>
         </mailet>


However, I left the mailet configured thinking it was harmless in normal
runtime. (Normal for us means mail is received via SMTP on port 25 and
relayed to another server). After a day I saw entries logged in the
smtpserver*.log files only, and no mailet*.log entries.  Messages were
getting spooled, but never removed from the spool and processed.

I had to stop the server and disable the mailet which seems to have
corrected the situation.  I have two questions on this:

* Emails sent during that period of time never showed up in
/var/mail/spool or in any other repository.  I suppose those messages
are lost, yes?

* Can anyone explain why the FromRepository mailet affected normal mail
activity?  Or was it not to blame?

Thanks for any insight -
Kent
