             Summary: PutEmail processor dying when SMTP server does not respond
                 Key: NIFI-9758
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-9758
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Extensions
    Affects Versions: 1.14.0
         Environment: Windows Server 2016
JDK 11
            Reporter: Javier Fonseca


*Bug*

PutEmail processor dyes after _"the socked connection is established, if the server response is lost for some reason (or if the server doesn't respond at all) the processor thread gets stuck forever._ 

_Apparently this is kind of by design, since the default value of the mail.smtp.timeout property is infinite, as it can be see [here|https://javaee.github.io/javamail/docs/api/com/sun/mail/smtp/package-summary.html]._

_I had a look at the PutEmail processor source code and unfortunately I don't think there is a way currently to set this in the processor configuration."_

Processor must be terminated/restart in these cases.

 

*Potential Solution*

Add a configurable property TimeOut to set the __ value of the _mail.smtp.timeout_ property, allowing the processor to fail after certain amount of time.
