FW: Tracking each piece of mail through the system
Never got a response on this one. Justing bumping it back to the top of
stack. Anybody got any suggestions on how to track end to end?
Thanks.

Subject: Tracking each piece of mail through the system
I've got a situation where some legit mail is being categorized as spam.
I run a few of the default spam blockers that come with James. But I
can't figure out which one is causing a spam hit. I'm familiar with all
the various logs. But there doesn't appear to be a single routing log
that tracks a note through all the processors/matchers/mailets.
Am I missing something? Is there an easy way to enable some sort of
tracking log?
Thanks.

Here you go. You will need to configure a data source in your
config.xml. I have included the relevant info from my config.xml below.
Also.. one note.. this is NOT production ready.. have to amend the code
to handle emails with no "To" address (emails that only have a CC or
BCC) and a few other issues. <please no comments on my Java code.. i
did this in a hurry and it was more of a proof of concept/prototype>
:)
but this should get you started on logging rejections to a DB with
pertinent info.
Hope this helps you!!!
from config.xml:
---------------------------------------------------
1) in the "root" processor you should have mailets doing your spam
filtering.. one or many of similar items like so:
<mailet match="InSpammerBlacklist=list.dsbl.org" class="ToProcessor">
<processor> spam </processor>
<notice>550 Requested action not taken: open spam relay -
see http://dsbl.org/listingquery </notice>
</mailet>
the text in the "notice" block above is what will be logged in the
rejection DB table.
2) in your "spam" processor add the JDBCLogRejection mailet:
<mailet match="All" class="JDBCLogRejection">
<logdburl> db://datasourcename/rejected </logdburl>
<reject-type> spam </reject-type>
</mailet>
I use the mailet for both spam and virus rejection logging.. hence the
"reject-type."
3) add a data source to your database connections
<data-source name="datasourcename"
class="org.apache.james.util.mordred.JdbcDataSource">
<driver>org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver</driver>
<dburl>jdbc:mysql://localhost/database?autoReconnect=true</dburl>
<user>user</user>
<password>password</password>
<max>20</max>
</data-source>

I created a Mailet that logs info about any rejection to a MySQL DB. Was
pretty straight forward. I can send you the source if you like.

Sounds like a log analyzer.

I've tried looking at the spoolmanager log. It references everything by
that long email key requiring backtracking through other logs to find
out who it was from and to. And it intermixes many threads of mail as
would be expected in a realtime log. But getting the kind of info I
need out of it is difficult. What I'd really like is a log with a
single line per mail item:
Date/Time From To Result Details
------------------------------------------------------------------------
---
4/1/04 16:04 123@xyz.com jwm@mydomain.com inbox:jwm
4/1/04 16:05 a@spammer.com jwm@mydomain.com spam fail nabl
mailet
4/1/04 16:05 jwm@mydomain.com aaa@bbb.com sent external
If something like this doesn't exist, I can write it. But I'd like a
little info on where/how to install it. I guess the first question is
whether this is even possible or if there are technical issues with the
flow processing that would prevent it. (I'm a seasoned java programmer,
but haven't dug too deeply into the James inards.) A few suggestions to
get me started would be great. (Possibly Corey's code is close to what
I need when I receive it).

The spool manager log. Turn on DEBUG for it in environment.xml.
