    <p>we are currently experiencing a rather strange problem with a JavaMail application running inside a Tomcat 7 container. The Java Mail API is used in a classic way and not too fancy (just send email notification, no attachments etc.). In the testing environment, this code successfully sends email to a MSExchangeServer.</p> <p>The application is running on a Xen Hypervisor, guest is Windows 2008R2, the Xen and Windows versions are the same for test and production. We are running on JDK7u17 (latest, downloaded yesterday).</p> <p>The communication with the SMTP server breaks on the EHLO/HELO phase with </p> <p>javax.mail.MessagingException: Failure sending HELO command to SMTP server</p> <p>We have then tried to send email using the blat <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/blat/files/latest/download?source=files," rel="nofollow">commandline utility</a> this works. </p> <p>We have tried with putty, and we can reproduce the issue when connecting to the mailserver using putty in telnet mode, if connecting with putty in RAW we can send the EHLO command. </p> <p>So, we added a sniffer into the game and recorded the following (reproducable) failing session <a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/s/ivx0qmuisi5wyhy/failed_smtp_connection.zip?token_hash=AAEOKLHaJ60dmcewnTD4-F4DZ2ALLuP1F5MVhs73NzMJWw&amp;dl=1" rel="nofollow">session data</a>:</p> <pre><code>00000000 32 32 30 20 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 220 **** ******** 00000010 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a ******** ******** 00000020 2a 0d 0a *.. 00000000 45 E 00000001 48 4c 4f 20 53 52 56 2d 46 50 53 2d 30 32 0d 0a HLO SRV- FPS-02.. 00000023 35 30 32 20 75 6e 69 6d 70 6c 65 6d 65 6e 74 65 502 unim plemente 00000033 64 20 28 23 35 2e 35 2e 31 29 0d 0a d (#5.5. 1).. 00000011 48 H 00000012 45 4c 4f 20 53 52 56 2d 46 50 53 2d 30 32 0d 0a ELO SRV- FPS-02.. 0000003F 35 30 32 20 75 6e 69 6d 70 6c 65 6d 65 6e 74 65 502 unim plemente 0000004F 64 20 28 23 35 2e 35 2e 31 29 0d 0a d (#5.5. 1).. 00000022 51 Q 00000023 55 49 54 0d 0a UIT.. 0000005B 35 30 32 20 75 6e 69 6d 70 6c 65 6d 65 6e 74 65 502 unim plemente 0000006B 64 20 28 23 35 2e 35 2e 31 29 0d 0a d (#5.5. 1).. </code></pre> <p>Remark, that the EHLO command is split in two segments. </p> <p>Now we recorded a session with blat:</p> <pre><code>00000000 32 32 30 20 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 220 **** ******** 00000010 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a 2a ******** ******** 00000020 2a 0d 0a *.. 00000000 45 48 4c 4f 20 73 72 76 2d 66 70 73 2d 30 32 0d EHLO srv -fps-02. 00000010 0a . 00000023 32 35 30 2d 72 65 6c 61 79 2e 6d 65 64 69 61 6e 250-rela y.median 00000033 65 74 2d 77 6f 72 6c 64 2e 64 65 0d 0a 32 35 30 et-world .de..250 00000043 2d 50 49 50 45 4c 49 4e 49 4e 47 0d 0a 32 35 30 -PIPELIN ING..250 00000053 20 38 42 49 54 4d 49 4d 45 0d 0a 8BITMIM E.. </code></pre> <p>As you can see, the EHLO is not on a package boundary and thus the server replies with 250-...</p> <p>We have tried another mailserver to see, if the mailserver recv function is possibly broken, but the other server exhibited the same behavior.</p> <p>We have now realized that another JavaMail application is able to send mail over the exact same mailserver. On the first glance there is no difference in code, but the other application is using JavaMail 1.3, while the failing one uses JavaMail 1.4 (taken from Geronimo 1.4 -1.7.1).</p> <p>Any ideas, why the packet segmentation has an influence on the mailserver? In my view, I shouldn't care about the IP packet segmentation when communicating with TCP.</p> <p>Any help appreciated, thanks in advance!</p> <p>Thomas</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
