NullPointerException in JamesSpoolManager.run when getting POP3 mail

[Matthias Fesich <Ma...@ctp.com>]

Hi all,

I just installed James 2.0a3-cvs on my PC (Windows 2000), added a user and inserted the DNS server address into the config.xml. Starting up with run.bat is working fine, but as soon as I send myself an email to myuser@[<my_ip_adress] I get a NullPointerException in the JamesSpoolManager.run procedure (line 207, that's when the mail.getName() function is called:
                MailImpl mail = spool.retrieve(key);
                getLogger().info("==== Begin processing mail "
                                 + mail.getName() + " ====");
)

The following is the error stack:
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at org.apache.james.transport.JamesSpoolManager.run(JamesSpoolManager.java:207)
        at org.apache.avalon.excalibur.thread.impl.ExecutableRunnable.execute(ExecutableRunnable.java:47)
        at org.apache.avalon.excalibur.thread.impl.WorkerThread.run(WorkerThread.java:86)

The result is, that although the james.log tells me
'1034873030704 [INFO   ] (James): Mail Mail1034873030494-0 pushed in spool'
there is no mail saved anywhere ...

The smtpserver.log looks alright, too:

1034873029963 [INFO   ] (smtpserver): Connection from cpl-upo-mail1.cpl.xxx.com (143.2.74.57)
1034873030083 [INFO   ] (smtpserver): Command received: EHLO cpl-emea-mail1.cpl.xxx.com
1034873030183 [INFO   ] (smtpserver): Command received: MAIL FROM:<xx...@xxx.com>
1034873030283 [INFO   ] (smtpserver): Command received: RCPT TO:<mf@[129.23.78.249]>
1034873030383 [INFO   ] (smtpserver): Command received: DATA
1034873030704 [INFO   ] (smtpserver): Mail sent to Mail Server
1034873030794 [INFO   ] (smtpserver): Command received: QUIT

But the spoolmanager.log says:

1034872888169 [INFO   ] (spoolmanager): run JamesSpoolManager: default Worker #10
1034872888179 [INFO   ] (spoolmanager): spool=org.apache.james.mailrepository.AvalonSpoolRepository
1034873030734 [ERROR  ] (spoolmanager): Exception in JamesSpoolManager.run null



As James is running everywhere else apparently ;-), I suppose it's a configuration problem or something. Can anybody offer any help?

Thanx in advance and

Bye,
Matthias
