Hi all and especially V-,
i found an interesting failure today while letting some users send mails using web
messaging. Since there was only one user active when web messaging service died at
least every 5 minutes we could track down the cause which is definitley leading to a
crashed web service of IMail.
We found that this particular user had a machine running Windows95 together with MSIE
3.x. Whenever he tried to send a message (using his browser) with an destination
address which contains a dash the web messaging service died as soon as user clicked
on �Send�. We then moved to a box which runs WinNT Workstation (SP3) as well as MSIE
3.x. This one could send as normal. We moved back to the PC running Win95 and upgraded
MSIE 3.x to MSIE 5.0. After that upgrade there was no problem anymore sending to
addresses like [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I don�t know if any other browser from Netscape or other vendors does lead to the same
problem. Most of the machines in this network only have MSIE (versions 3.x up to 5.0)
or Netscape Communicator 4.x installed. It seems that these machines do not crash web
messaging.
You should check if your users do use MSIE 3.x and try to send to addresses containing
a dash.
