This is a known bug with Web Mail which was fixed by someone on this
list (Brad?) and included in my Add-On.

What actually happens is that Vircom try to use the users setting which
can be configured under the Web Mail Settings page. If this does not
exist then it leaves it blank. The Add-On get's around this by detecting
a blank field and using the senders email address in place.

To double check that this is the issue for this user try setting a
Sender Name under the Settings and see if that works. If so then you can
look at the files in my Web Mail Add-On and merge in the modifications
for this fix (you may wish to put the whole Add-On in place as it fixes
other things).

The url for the Add-On is:

http://suneel.jhangiani.net/Content\Downloads/Webmail-Addon-v3-b273.003.
zip

Instructions are in the .TXT file included as well as a list of
features. It should be a simple case of just copying the files into the
ASPROOT folder.

Here is a snippet from a previous post detailing the changes for the
Blank Sender:

For those curious I implemented the From Address fix slightly
differently to Brad. His method was:

 

  NewMessage.Recipients.Clear
  
  If Settings("DisplayName") <> null then
          NewMessage.From.Name = Settings("DisplayName")
  Else
          NewMessage.From.Name = VopWeb.EmailAddress
  End If

  NewMessage.From.Address = VopWeb.EmailAddress

 

My method is:

  If Settings("MessageFrom") > "" Then
            NewMessage.From.Address = CStr(Settings("MessageFrom"))
  Else
            NewMessage.From.Address = VopWeb.EmailAddress
  End If


  If Settings("DisplayName") = "" Then
            NewMessage.From.Name = Settings("DisplayName")
  Else
            NewMessage.From.Name = NewMessage.From.Address
  End If

 

I used this as it keeps the same functionality as the Vircom Code in
pulling the Address from the Sessions State as well as the Display Name
providing they exist there. That is also why I switched the order so
that the Address gets set before the name.

Subject: [Modus] Blank From Address - web mail

* This is the modus mailing list *


I have a single user that has a blank FROM address when they use web
mail.

All other users for that domain do not have a problem. It is not machine
specific, as it can be recreated on other client machines, but only for
that
user

Any ideas

Jeff
