Very Interesting,
Thanks for the insight. I think that may be a possibility and I will
check it out and get back to you. I have not had a repeat of the Doc's
visit, but that may very well have been the scenario. I have one customer
(a non-profit - no I mean a real non-profit not an ISP or WPP:-) that has a
lot of out of date stuff. I will check the logs. I use a frame for their
mail page and IIS reads the agent line into the logs for me.

> 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

> 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.
