Wrong "From" address
Summary: Wrong "From" address
Product: James
Version: 2.1
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: Major
Priority: Other
Component: Mailet API
AssignedTo: james-dev@jakarta.apache.org
ReportedBy: miro@space-comm.com
We use James from 2 months. We upgrade the MailServer with each new versions,
but the problems exists.
1. We fix one of the problem which doesn't exist on Windows platform with
some extending of original James classes wiht our own class:
public class MailServer
{
public static void main(String[] args)
throws Exception
{
String value = new String(new byte[]{'\r', '\n'});
System.setProperty("line.separator", value);
Main.main(args);
}
}
This problem exist when we use Windows based mail clients like Explorer, The
Bat, etc.
2. The second problem is very unpleasant. When you send some mail from time
to time the "From" field is replaced with other sender name which is random or
with unknown logic selected. In this case you can see which is your Real Sender
when you look at "Reply-To" field.
We can try to fix the problem, but we don't know where to search the problem
because we are not so familiar with the Source Code of James.
How we can run James using JBuilder? When we try it is not possible because
James use Phoenix Avalon product which is not documented.
Can we be a part of James Development Team? We have some ideas.
Our James MailServer is running at the following server:
saturn.space-comm.com

What is the test case for failure? James running on Windows and linux is
successfully used with Outlook, Eudora, Mozilla, etc., with no problems.
Can you elaborate?

What is the source of the e-mail with these headers? Is this e-mail that
you are relaying, or generating in a mailet? If this is mail that you are
relaying, the Reply-To field will have likely been filled in by different
software than the From header.

Again, provide a reproducible test case or sample e-mail, and it would help
to diagnose what you are seeing.
> James use Phoenix Avalon product which is not documented.
