[jira] [Created] (JAMES-2682) Infinite loop can be triggered upon Sieve failure

Tellier Benoit created JAMES-2682:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Infinite loop can be triggered upon Sieve failure
                 Key: JAMES-2682
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-2682
             Project: James Server
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Mailet Contributions
    Affects Versions: master, 3.3.0
            Reporter: Tellier Benoit


As pointed out by [~pleira], failing sieve processing can generate an mail infinite loop.

SieveExecutor::handleFailure sends a mail to the user, that is also SIEVE processed (and thus fails) creating a loop.

To prevent this loop, we should avoid Sieve processing on Sieve error notification emails.

In Sieve executor, position a `"SieveNotification" -> true` mail attribute in `SieveExecutor::handleFailure`. In SieveExecutor::execute check this mail attribute and if present and true, do not perform the execution. You will write a unit test in SieveIntegrationTest - Emails with this attribute should not be processed.

If you have any issue don't hesitate to reach us in https://gitter.im/apache/james-project
