[jira] Commented: (JAMES-522) Having the ClamAVScan mailet configured, but clamd unavailable when JAMES starts, keeps JAMES from starting.

Noel J. Bergman commented on JAMES-522:
---------------------------------------

In the mailet config, adding <maxPings>0</maxPings> will disable the check, and the error, so this is arguably a "trivial" error.  Still, it presents a good example of where we can improve retry with queuing.  And we really should provide a better error message to help admins, since the default is to fail.

> If JAMES attempts to start, ClamAVScan is configured, and clamd is not running, ClamAVScan.init() will throw an exception, terminating JAMES entirely.  This can be seen in ${james}/logs/phoenix.log where the maxPings error will appear, and the spoolmanager component will be shown as failing.
> I'm marking this as minor since there is a work around, biut actually, I consider it a more major error.
