Web Admin & Redirect Mail

Post by dpowell3854 »

I'm running V 1.109 Pro on a W2K box and have a problem setting new mailboxes.
Everything works perfectly if I use the MMC
However if I use the webadmin and need to have a users email redirected to say Someone@hotmail.com the forwarding does not take. If I look at the mailbox in webadmin I notice that the check is removed from Redirect mail to. if I check the box again I receive a:
Error (7007): The SMTP address you specified was invalid. SMTP Addresses must be in the format of Alias@Domain.
I've tried everything and I am now out of ideas. The MMC does work but I was going to give someone web access for administration and do not trust them with full server MMC access.

The problem is here...

Dave,
The problem is one character in the ASP code and it's easily fixable.

Open File: (in NotePad)
MailEnableFolder\BIN\WebAdmin\base\default\lang\EN\validation.asp

On Line 2 (at the very top) you will see...
Const gBadChars = "<>*?@&#[]'=""%"

Simply remove the "@" from that list so it would appear like this...
Const gBadChars = "<>*?&#[]'=""%"

Then save the file.

Enjoy!
