respooling
Hi,
I have a problem when respooling mails. In some more detail:
I am using james 2.3.1 and have written my own mailet. Sometimes it
happens that
a mail cannot be delivered and it ends up in '/var/mail/error': e.g.
because the
connection suddently went down, or because of some exception thrown in the
mailet, or ...
After removing the cause of the error I would like to deliver the mails
and have
tried to stop james, move all files from 'apps/james/var/mail/error' to
'apps/james/var/mail/error' and restart. However, the files where silently
moved
into the error directory again and nothing happend.
Then I tried to make use of the 'FromRepository' mailet and included the
following snipplet into my 'config.xml':
<processor name="root">
[...]
<mailet match="All" class="FromRepository">
<repositoryPath>file://var/mail/hdc/</repositoryPath>
<processor>transport</processor>
<delete>true</delete>
</mailet>
Then I moved the content of 'error' into the new 'hdc' directory, but
nothing
happend - the mails were not even moved into error again.
What did I do wrong?
TIA, Heinz-Dieter

In my case, nothing happens. Regardless, if I restart james or not :-(

I am not sure if I would call it a bug, so much as a "feature" of the file
based repositories. They configure at init time, and that's it. I will
take a look at some sort of reload mechanism, but I will have to go back and
start from the last release.

I noticed that in my James server (using file repositories) I need to restart the server itself after the mail has been
moved to the respool directory, and only after that the FromRepository mailet will work (obviously a bug).
Is it also your case?

Nothing in the debug log to be seen from the FromRepository except for
lines
like:
08/10/07 13:35:45 INFO mailstore: added repository:
file://var/mail/hdc/MAIL->org.apache.james.mailrepository.AvalonMailRepository
08/10/07 13:35:45 INFO spoolmanager: Mailet FromRepository instantiated.
And shouldn't it work just to move the error-files into spool?
In that case I would guess that something more fundamental is wrong with
my
configuration.

Hi Noel,
A second attempt with perhaps a bit more information.

No, the FromRepository does not get executed. As far as I can see, the
'service' method is never called, see below.

I have turned everything in 'environment.xml' to "DEBUG", and nothing
happend.
(Introducing a new category does not help here.)
I even set a new log statement into FromRepository.java, build and
deployed
again - however, nothing to be seen. Then I converted every log into
System.out.println and then at least my new log-statement in the init
method
showed up, but not the one in the service method.
How, do I enable logging the proper way?

I do not think that there is something wrong with the
FromRepository-Mailet,
but something with the configuration, so that the service method is not
even called.
To repeat, this is my configuration:
<processor name="root">
[...]
<mailet match="All" class="FromRepository">
<repositoryPath>file://var/mail/hdc/</repositoryPath>
<processor>transport</processor>
<delete>true</delete>
</mailet>
(Playing with match="All" did not change anything.)
Is there anything wrong (I did not change the default transport
configuration)?
Is is correct to just move the ...Repository.FileObjectStore and the
...Repository.FileStreamStore into the 'hdc' Folder?
How is the service method triggered?
TIA, Heinz-Dieter

Did FromRepository get executed? And I wouldn't do it with an all matcher.
I use a bogus address, e.g., respool@, to initiate it.
You should be able to turn on debugging and see what FromRepository tried to
do. I can look at it, if there are any fixes that need to be made, but in
general, it has worked for me.
