[jira] Updated: (JAMES-358) Too many RemoteDelivery attempts with many mx and many ip
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-358?page=history ]
Danny Angus updated JAMES-358:
------------------------------
type: Bug (was: Improvement)
For James to retry other MX servicing the same domain after receiving a bona fide 5xy permanent error seems to me to be a defect:
[rfc 2821]
5yz Permanent Negative Completion reply
The command was not accepted and the requested action did not
occur. The SMTP client is discouraged from repeating the exact
request (in the same sequence). Even some "permanent" error
conditions can be corrected, so the human user may want to direct
the SMTP client to reinitiate the command sequence by direct
action at some point in the future (e.g., after the spelling has
been changed, or the user has altered the account status).

> Key: JAMES-358
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-358
> Project: James
> Type: Bug
> Components: Remote Delivery
> Versions: 2.2.0
> Reporter: Stefano Bagnara
> Priority: Minor
>
> Take a domain with 5 mx servers each one with 6 associated ips. James currently try to connect to each MX server even if the first server say "5.1.1 user unknown", but even worst, james try to connect to each IP of each MX server.
> I think that james should only check each MX server once, at a random IP address from the IP list for that mx hostname.
> The permanent user error issue would be only a further optimization but the IP issue is probably against the RFC specifications.
