> I needed to resend all messages delivered by FetchMail to users, who are not defined to James, into postmaster's mailbox. To do so I've added a new mailet with HasMailAttribute matcher to process messages with "org.apache.james.fetchmail.isUserUndefined" attribute. But this mailet has never been actually invoked in spite of the aforementioned attribute presence.
> In the FetchMail's source code I've found that all attributes which do not assume some particular value, are initialized by nulls:
>         if (isUserUndefined())
>             aMail.setAttribute(getAttributePrefix() + "isUserUndefined", null);
> But HasMailAttribute matcher ignores attributes with null values:
>         if (mail.getAttribute (attributeName) != null) {
>             return mail.getRecipients();
>         } 
> If I assign arbitrary not null value to the attribute like this
>             aMail.setAttribute(getAttributePrefix() + "isUserUndefined", "true");
> the matcher works fine and my mailet is then invoked.
> Thereby we have some incorrectly initialized attributes which are definitely ignored by matchers (and possibly cause some other troubles).
