incoming mail from remote server regarded as spam
I am trying to configure my web-mail application to route incoming
messages from remote server to reach the inbox.
The host address is the ip of the firewall which redirects incoming
mails to the local machine running james.
The problem is that the incoming mail directly gets written to the
deadletter table as spam.
In my config.xml file I have all mailets that take care of classifying
messages as spam commented out. Also I found out that the mail does not
even reach the root processor and directly gets written as spam after
reaching the spool.
I figure there is some configuration problem taking place in getting
james to recognize the mail. I can send messages out to a remote address
without any problems. Also if I send messages from the localhost to
localhost it works all fine.
I will greatly appreciate if someone can help me with this problem. I
would like to know where and on what criteria does James classify a
message as spam before reaching the root processor.
Thanks,
Disha

It turns out that I needed localhost as one of my servernames.
<servername>localhost</servername>
I initially had the actual host name of my local machine as the server
name.
<servername>myserver.mydomain.com</servername>
turns out this did not work.

I do have the HostIsLocal matcher but it does not even match with that.
This is my <servernames> element:
<servernames autodetect="false" autodetectIP="true">
<!-- CONFIRM? -->
<servername>207.8.15.206</servername>
</servernames>
And I send mail to user@[207.8.15.206].
I am sending mail from a local mail account which exists on our internal
network.
207.8.15.206 is the firewall ip which points mails to the machine
running James.
This is a part of the log file:

The means the e-mail was not addressed to a valid local address at a valid
domain specified for that server.

What happened to the HostIsLocal matcher? Did you remove it, or did it also
fail to match? Assuming that you didn't remove it, then it sounds as if you
haven't finished configuring James, and have yet to configure the
<servernames> element.

RE: incoming mail from remote server regarded as spam
Posted by Disha <di...@openskysoftware.com>.
I notice in the spool-manager log that when the mail comes to the
transport processor it does not match the RecipientIsLocal matcher and
hence instead of getting processed by LocalDelivery mailet, it gets
processed by RemoteDelivery mailet. It tries to do this a number of
times.
All incoming mails that are addressed to the host ip should go thru the
LocalDelivery Mailet, right?
And all outgoing mail will be processed by remoteDelivery mailet?
If I have understood this correct all incoming mails that point to the
servername in the config file should be matched by the RecipientIsLocal
matcher and processed by LocalDelivery mailet. This is not the case
though.
Can anyone please guide me here. I am quite confused.
Thank you,
Disha

Change the appropriate entry in SAR-INF/environment.xml from INFO to DEBUG.

Turn on DEBUG for the spool manager log, and see which mailet is responsible
for assigning it as spam.
