Well, it is not the first awful thing they do, isn't it? :)

I'm not entirely sure why this bounced, but here it is posted to the  
list:


Seems a user of mine had problems logging on to the msn transport but  
it worked with messenger and on the passport web pages. After a bit  
of investiagtion it seemed the problem was because of a lengthy  
password. His was 17 digits long, and that was at least too much. If  
this is not a limitation i MSN/Passport services, howcome we have  
this limit on the transport?

When the user registers the transport everything seems to work, but  
after registration it does not log on (password error). If I look in  
the xml spool files the password there is correct with all 17 digits.  
So the error seems to be at logon, not registration.

If there is a good reason maybe we should provide a better error  
message for the user.

Have a nice sunday! :)

There must be a better way to receive offline messages, because the
old v7.5 clients are getting them. (when sent from v8)

Another one that bounced:

OK, I am a bit wrong here. It seems that the web pages for msn  
messenger,
and the messenger client only accepts 16 chars in the password. I did  
not
notice this cause I was using copy+paste. The Jabber clients, transport
registration web form and PyMSNt have no limit on the password and  
hence get
an error when sending a password with more than 16 chars.

Maybe we should limit or drop 16+ chars? This is a minor problem but  
caused
headace for me and the user, might be minimized by some minor fix. ? ?

Sorry for the bad research before my original mail.
