something generates 19 mails

["alan.gerhard" <al...@gercom.com>]

Java 1.3.1
James 2.1.2
W2K/SQL2K Server
Dell PowerEdge 1300 
 
19 mails are generated - consistently - when sending a mail
to a non-existent user at MyJamesDomain.Com from an existent
user at MyJamesDomain.Com; this is a similar issue I
reported to the user list with regards to the Error
Processor.
 
In a span of 6 seconds, 19 new mails are generated (valid
parsed connections, etc. ) as shown in my SMTPServer log.
This is when a web-based email client is used.
 
When Outlook 2000 is used, there are only 2 the get
consistently generated.
 
In my spoolmanager section (config.xml), I have defined 20
threads.
 
 
RemoteDelivery is attempted as per my Mailet log, almost at
the same time (time stamp is at the same second )...
 
Connection processing is also being done - 
on <myDomain>:25 from <myDomain>:3895 where this port is
sequentially incremented ...
 
There is an error in the way this is being processed;
finding out exactly where it is will be difficult and I
could use as many suggestions as possible to help me locate
the error.

Details would help.  The actual e-mail addresses used.  The relevent
portions of the logs.  Possibly information about the configuration, etc.  I
tried it on my system, manually sending from "frell@" to "frelled@", and
could not reproduce your results.

Do you see anything substantially different in the SMTP dialog?  Turn on
DEBUG for the SMTPServer, and you can see the actual protocol session.

> RemoteDelivery is attempted as per my Mailet log

Since you said that these are in your domain, it should not be trying
RemoteDelivery.

None of which says that there isn't a problem in James, but we don't have
anything to go on, yet.

Just out of curiousity ... what is the return-path and reply-to headers in
each case, and do you have NotifySender enabled?  If so, what happens if you
disable it?
