Re: Test Build posted - JAMES-264 mail loop
If someone would try to use the email list mailets with non-local users then
he will very soon change his mind because of the catastrophic "JAMES-264
UNRESOLVED mail list loop caused by using Return-Path" bug.
In the description of the issue I included a quick fix, which consists of
about 5 lines. It is in my James version for about half a year and it is
working. As I wrote in the referenced email I didn't make a patch, because I
couldn't follow the status of the different James versions in the CVS, but
inserting these lines is quite easy.
If this issue will be closed maybe a new one with lower priority should be
opened, because the root of the problem, the usage of Return-Path header
will still be in the code, the fix is just a workaround for a specific
problem.

I need to test this, and haven't even started. But I'd like to get as many
eyes on this as possible.

There are is reference to an email in the first (and also in the last)
sentence of the description, that email includes both the fix and the
analysis, which may answer your question.

I use the listserv without any such catastrophic problems, or any loops at
all. Curious as to how you are handling bounces that you do.

There is no such fix in http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-264. I
do have a separate patch you wrote for GenericListserv, which I'm looking at
now.

That is what I've been looking at today. It is a riskier change to make on
a point release, but might be worthwhile.
