Yesterday Alfresco crashed on us. When investigating why, the logfile appeared to be enormous: >10GB. Checking the contents revealed that Alfresco was trying to send an email to a non-existing user (user was removed from the AD):
10:39:34,686 User:eripo ERROR [action.executer.MailActionExecuter] Failed to send email to [<USERNAME>]
org.springframework.mail.MailSendException; nested exception details (1) are:
Failed message 1:
javax.mail.SendFailedException: Invalid Addresses;
nested exception is:
com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPAddressFailedException: 550 5.1.1 User unknown
This entry appeared (I guess, but didn't count) thousands of times in the logfile.
Shouldn't there be a limit on retrying to send an email?
Even though this is a major problem, the biggest problem is getting rid of it:
Because of the many retries, at leas that's what I think, the transactional log has gron enormously. Where the last reindex counted 117.000 transactions and was completed in 8 minutes, this one counts 3.600.000. Only the first 10% took 7,5 hours!
When I extrapolate the time it should take to index 117K opposed to 3,6M, it should take less than 300 minutes. Why is this taking so locg, and, most importantly, how can I speed things up?
When I look at the use of resources, the CPU hardly has to do any work, only once in a while tomcat peaks, than mysql. Only the SAN is working quite hard and has read and written >1,5TB in these 7,5 hours.
Alfresco CE 3.4.b, Windows 2008 R2, Java 64bit, 2,5GB heap, MySQL on the same server as tomcat.
