A potentially dangerous Request.QueryString value was detected from the client

Post by Olli »

Hi

I have a fresh installation of MailEnable 9.14 standard on Windows 2012 R2. When I log in to the webmail with an acount and try to send an email, nothing happens at the page no errors no nothing, but in event log I get this error:

Exception type: HttpRequestValidationException
Exception message: A potentially dangerous Request.QueryString value was detected from the client (Options="<options><option><na...").

Hi,

Does this still occur in 9.17?
