[jira] Created: (JAMES-424) Invalid DATA for Message shows up in Headers in mailstore
Invalid DATA for Message shows up in Headers in mailstore
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: JAMES-424
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-424
Project: James
Type: Bug
Components: MailStore & MailRepository, SMTPServer
Versions: 2.2.0
Environment: WinXP
Reporter: Scott Carr
If you open a connection to the server, and send in the following in the DATA for the message:
This is a test
.
Then the data shows up in the headers instead of after the headers like it should. Here is what I recieved in the message:
Return-Path: <sc...@dccusa.com>
Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1])
by QRGMAIN (JAMES SMTP Server 2.2.0) with SMTP ID 792
for <sc...@localhost>;

this is a test
Date: Thu, 6 Oct 2005 21:40:21 -0500 (CDT)

Delivered-To: scarr@localhost
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

---------------------------------------
2 comments:
1. Sendmail seems to apply a more intelligent algorithm: it read the mail and use every line as an header until it find an invalid line. This line will be considered the first body line.
2. We should decide wether to put this in the code that read data from SMTP or to put it in the "parse" method of our MimeMessageWrapper to override the default behaviour.

Scott Carr commented on JAMES-424:
----------------------------------
I agree it is INVALID data, so setting to 'Won't Fix' will not hurt my feelings.
I did try this with PostFix and Exchange and the message had 'This is a Test' instead of setting it as a Header, thus the reason for this issue. I haven't tried it with Sendmail, so not sure what would happen.

IIRC the problem is in the SMTP transport part, because previously we
never change the message and we prepend the Recipient manipulating the
original stream and if we never change it then it will be written "as
is" and not parsed.
Btw I still don't understand HOW you would parse it IF you have to parse
it. I understand what we can do when we don't have to parse it, but we
also bundle in James mailets that changes the body: HOW should they work?
Let's forget of javamail or mime4j now, I just want to understand the
what is the intended/best behaviour!

Not sure but I think this is not RFC compliant: rfc2821 (SMTP) does not
say you can check that the data is valid rfc2822 content.
So I would avoid behaving this way. Do you agree?

Never tested qmail, but I understood from Norman that it was considering
it a body: can you test a local delivery to qmail to see if the local
mailbox is altered and how? You should look at the saved mailbox in
order to understand wether the change is done by qmail, by the pop3
server or by the client reading it.

Keep it in context. It is a problem with JavaMail because the content is invalid, and JavaMail requires valid content, sometimes resulting in "even more" invalid content. Without JavaMail having problems, we could still transport such messages.

Noel J. Bergman commented on JAMES-424:
---------------------------------------
RFC 2821 says, in part:
Server SMTP systems SHOULD NOT reject messages based on perceived
defects in the RFC 822 or MIME [12] message header or message body.
Section 3.7 goes further to say:
As discussed in section 2.4.1, a relay SMTP has no need to inspect or
act upon the headers or body of the message data and MUST NOT do so
except to add its own "Received:" header (section 4.4) and,
optionally, to attempt to detect looping in the mail system (see
section 6.2).
I'm not entirely dismissing Scott's point. Frankly, I see a LOT of invalid messages in the real-world, and JavaMail tosses exceptions often. The general solution is to avoid JavaMail whenever we can, and be more graceful in content handling if/when we even need to look at the content.

Stefano Bagnara commented on JAMES-424:
---------------------------------------
Further considerations.
rfc2822 definition of a message:
---------
A message consists of header fields (collectively called "the header
of the message") followed, optionally, by a body. The header is a
sequence of lines of characters with special syntax as defined in
this standard. The body is simply a sequence of characters that
follows the header and is separated from the header by an empty line
(i.e., a line with nothing preceding the CRLF).
---------
An header field is defined
---------
Header fields are lines composed of a field name, followed by a colon
(":"), followed by a field body, and terminated by CRLF. A field
name MUST be composed of printable US-ASCII characters (i.e.,
characters that have values between 33 and 126, inclusive), except
colon. A field body may be composed of any US-ASCII characters,
except for CR and LF. However, a field body may contain CRLF when
used in header "folding" and "unfolding" as described in section
2.2.3. All field bodies MUST conform to the syntax described in
sections 3 and 4 of this standard.
---------
Using this rule the first line of my previous example could not be part of the headers because it does not contain the ":", and cannot be part of the body because there is no CRLF.
But let's analyze where we can add the Received and the results.
1) We can do like "the others" and consider it a body starting from the first non-header like line:
------------------
Received: <new received>
This is a test
Received: <a received header>
-----------------
2) We can do like we do now:
--------------------
Received: <new received>
This is a test
Received: <a received header>
--------------------
Either ways we are changing the original message, but in the first case the output message is an rfc2822 valid message.
RFC2821 never talks about the header/body and it simply say the SMTP should add the "Received: <xx>" header at the TOP of the data received for tracing purpose.
RFC2822 has a lot of obsolete examples and how to handle them but they never define how to parse a message having no header.
That said I still don't know what is the best thing to do "per RFC".
So I start looking at what other "players" do and there seem to be agreement on the solution to handle the text as body starting from the first "non-header like" header and maybe this is what most people would expect and what we would probably want to do.

Stefano Bagnara commented on JAMES-424:
---------------------------------------
I just talked with Norman about this and the problem seems to be that we pass the stream to javamail and javamail simply consider it an header until it finds a CRLFCRLF (I believe RFC simply state this, any clue?).
One possible solution would be to add a streamfilter in the incoming chain and manually add a CRLF before a line not resembling an header (no ":", header name does not follow the specs..) so that javamail will use the remaining data as body.

[jira] Commented: (JAMES-424) Invalid DATA for Message shows up in
Headers in mailstore
Posted by "Stefano Bagnara (JIRA)" <se...@james.apache.org>.

Stefano Bagnara commented on JAMES-424:
---------------------------------------
Sendmail do exactly what PostFix and Exchange did.
I just tested sending this message
---------------------------
Subject: test
invalid header line
possible body
-----------------------------
to a sendmail server and I received via pop3 (sorry, there is a firewall on this and I don't know what is the pop3 server)
--------------------------
Return-Path: <my MAIL FROM address>
Received: <the received>
Date: <current date>
From: <my MAIL FROM address>
Subject: test
invalid header line
possible body
--------------------------
So it seems that sendmail alter the message content (and not only for the received header).
The same thing is done by every other mailserver we tested (I have yet to find another one acting like james).
Btw, as you keep saying this is a problem in Javamail (and I could agree) I would like to know where you would add the Received: header in the following message:
--------------------------------
This is a test
Received: <a received header>

[jira] Commented: (JAMES-424) Invalid DATA for Message shows up in
Headers in mailstore
Posted by "Noel J. Bergman (JIRA)" <se...@james.apache.org>.
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-424?page=comments#action_12434755 ]
Noel J. Bergman commented on JAMES-424:
---------------------------------------
Personally, I would mark this as INVALID / WON"T FIX. The data is out of compliance with RFC 2822, and according to RFC 2821, the mail server should not be futzing around with the contents of the message.
The real solution to this problem is, in fact, the latter. As we migrate away from using JavaMail to working more purely with streams, we should be able to avoid JavaMail induced problems. Then the problem surfaces only when we actually care, in processing a message as an mail application server, about its content, or when it is eventually delivered to an MUA, where it is that end's problem to comprehend. But I would NOT arbitrarily modify the message content in violation of RFC 2821.
Just another reason to start moving way from JavaMail, and to use streams and MIME4J whenever possible

Scott Carr commented on JAMES-424:
----------------------------------
In SendMail, PostFix, Exchange, and XMail when their are no Headers in the message itself, the text appears as the body of the message. This is the behavior that would be expected in this instance, I would imagine.
Example message from PostFix:
Return-Path: <sc...@progbits.com>

Message-Id: <20...@progbits.com>

Norman Maurer commented on JAMES-424:
-------------------------------------
The Change put the text in the body if there are no valid headers. So this seems to be the same as Scott Carr reports for SendMail, PostFix, Exchange, and XMail. I also notice the same behavoir in Qmail. I think thats what most people aspect.
Any thoughts ? What about apply the patch ?

Danny Angus commented on JAMES-424:
-----------------------------------
is the test text supposed to be preceded by CRLFCRLF?
If so it is possibly a bug in Java mail or James might be trimming the leading whitespace.
if not then it is correct behaviour, we have no reason to generally validate headers, only those we take an interest in.
