1=2E Can you please share the exact bounce email ?

It would provide more i=
nfos on the failure and where it happens=2E

2=2E Please provide smtpserver=
=2Exml=2E

Smtp layer may validate that local domains users exists=2E Failu=
re to do so will result in bounces=2E

3=2E I would encourage writing a ded=
icaed matcher "LocalPartIsPhoneNumber"
Paired with DomainIs matcher which s=
hall be case incentive we will ge something way more resilient=2E

Alast, I=
 encourage you to test the regex suppied in RecipientIsRegex unit tests:=C2=

On Aug 20, 2025 4:48 PM, from Matt Pryor <pryor=
@international-presence=2Ecom>Hi there

I have the following in my mailetco=
ntainer=2Exml:

    <processor state=3D"root" enableJmx=3D"true">
       <m=
ailet
match=3D"RecipientIsRegex=3D\+?\d[\=2E\d\-]+@[iI][mM][pP][sS][cC][lL]=
[oO][uU][dD]\=2E[cC][oO][mM]"
class=3D"Redirect">
       <recipients>outbou=
nd@impscloud=2Ecom</recipients>
       <to>to</to>
       <inline>unaltered=
</inline>
       <passThrough>FALSE</passThrough>
       <static>TRUE</stat=
ic>
     </mailet>
     =2E=2E=2E=2E

The idea being that if emails come in=
to (phone number)@impscloud=2Ecom the
email gets redirected to outbound@imp=
scloud=2Ecom, and then we have a
pop/imap process picking up the email from=
 that mailbox which sends the
email contents as a fax to the phone number p=
art=2E
This used to work perfectly under James 3=2E0=2E1=2E
However since u=
pgrading to James 3=2E8=2E2 it no longer works, instead the
emails get boun=
ced with "address not found"=2E
Am I missing some other subtle config setti=
ng? Everything else in the xml
file looks the same as our old mail server f=
rom what I can tell=2E
Happy to share the whole mailetcontainer=2Exml if no=
thing is obvious from
this snippet=2E

Thanks a lot
Matt
