Hello,
I am testing Apache James since a few days. I am using the current 3.8.1
Spring-Edition.
My goal is to use Apache James as an SMTP relay for some of our internal
Applications. We don’t need any Users, Domains or Mailboxes on our
James, just a simple relay to our external SMTP-Provider. I’ve already
successfully configured the RemoteDelivery mailet in the
mailetcontainer.xml. James accepts the Emails via SMTP and forwards them
to the RemoteDelivery-Gateway.
After this success, I changed the Gateway-Port in my
RemoteDelivery-Configuration to a wrong value, to test what happens if
the remote gateway is not reachable (to simulate a internet connection
failure). I sent an E-Mail to the James-SMTP and waited some hours to
see what James did with the E-Mail.
I can see in the log/wrapper.xml that James tried 1x per Minute to send
the E-Mail to the RemoteDelivery-Gateway. BUT James stopped the retries
after almost 2 hours (so almost 120 tries). James (or ActiveMQ itself??)
deleted the E-Mail from the ActiveMQ-Mailqueue too, the Mail is lost.
This is a unacceptable behavior. We need at least retries for 15 Hours,
more better several days. Where can I configure this?
I saw in the RemoteDelivery-Section of mailetcontainer.xml the options
<delayTime> and <maxRetries>. I didn’t changed the default values, so
they are:
<!-- Delivery Schedule based upon RFC 2821, 4.5.4.1 -->
<!-- 5 day retry period, with 4 attempts in the first
hour, two more within the first 6 hours, and then
every 6 hours for the rest of the period.
<delayTime>4 * 15 minutes, 2 * 3 hours, 18 * 6 hours</delayTime>
-->
<delayTime>5000, 100000, 500000</delayTime>
<maxRetries>3</maxRetries>
I can't really understand the comment above.
“5 day retry period, with with 4 attempts in the first hour, two more
within the first 6 hours, and then every 6 hours for the rest of the
period.” ???
Sounds Good! I would take that :D . But in my test I see only a 2 hours
retry period, with 1 try per minute.
Does anyone have an idea how I can increase the retry period?
Thank you for this great open source project and your support!
Best Regards
Dominik Katzenmaier
