Jordi Ferran updated JAMES-1414:
--------------------------------

    Description: 
I started to play with SMTPServer handler and I discovered external mails send to \
James are rejected. No explicit "reject" keyword is seen in log file, but this is the \
reality, mail do not enter the mailbox. I've discovered that the SPFHandler is the \
cause of this problem. I've looked into the source code, I modified configuration \
parameters, but I do not fully comprehend the reason for the mail to be rejected or \
not delivered to the mailbox.

The log says:
Id='1135436670' User='' No Sender or HELO/EHLO present

The configuration:
            <handler class="org.apache.james.smtpserver.fastfail.SPFHandler">
                <blockSoftFail>false</blockSoftFail>
                <blockPermError>false</blockPermError>
                <checkAuthNetworks>false</checkAuthNetworks>
            </handler>

My interpretation:
"No Sender" => Not authorized user logged (no sender for controlled domains) => OK
"No HELO/EHLO" => OK, two external servers are not using this command => OK to me, I \
do not enforce the use of HELO/EHLO.

The log points to an if-condition where the method returns without rejecting the \
email, but the true effect is that somehow the incoming mail is not delivered to the \
mailbox. I raised LogLevel to DEBUG and no stacktrace is seen, don't know where to \
search for more clues.

Right now I don't know how to handle this problem. If it is my fault, I would \
appreciate an indication on how to configure the handler.

Thanks in advance.
