> I encountered the following NullPointerException:
> 18/08/04 14:29:59 INFO  James.Mailet             : RemoteDelivery: Unknown gateway host: unknown host
> 18/08/04 14:29:59 INFO  James.Mailet             : RemoteDelivery: This could be a DNS server error or configuration error.
> 18/08/04 14:29:59 INFO  James.Mailet             : RemoteDelivery: Exception caught in RemoteDelivery.run()
> java.lang.NullPointerException
> 	at org.apache.james.transport.mailets.RemoteDelivery.deliver(RemoteDelivery.java:409)
> 	at org.apache.james.transport.mailets.RemoteDelivery.run(RemoteDelivery.java:912)
> 	at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:534)
> This is caused by logging information about a HostAddress that happens to be null. 
> The HostAddress is null because I had a misconfiguration in my config.xml: a gateway server that could not be found.
> I fixed the issue for myself by entering the correct host name.
> Still, NullPointerExceptions are a bad sign. 
> Also, the message seems to disappear from the queue. I can't find it in the spool directory and there is no attempt of delivery after a restart.
> In other words, I seem to observe that a message gets lost when this occurs.
