Doug,

Yes. Thanks for confirming.

As best as I can tell, this is a defect in WebMail. It has impact if you are
running tight filters. You cannot check who is sending email to
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

When you save a message to the draft folder, WebMail does not just write the
messge to the MBX. Instead, it rewrites the To and From and then sends it
via SMTP to user-Draft. This has several unexpected implications, including
forwarding of the mailbox, rule filtering, and parsing by Declude or any
other SMTP delivery tool. It especially impacts rule filtering...

The incorrect domain name will have the following characteristics:

If you have ever used the IMail Client to access a mailbox, the following
registry entries are created:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ipswitch\IMail\_MAIL\USERID
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ipswitch\IMail\_MAIL\UserHost

If UserHost key exists, the incorrect domain name will have the value of
that key. If the key does not exist, it will have the value of the FQDN of
the mail server.

This is definitely a defect as far as I am concerned.

The second part of this, is that I have known for years that WebMail mailed
the Draft to save it in the Draft folder. While I normally applaud re-use of
code, I think that was a very poor design decision, because one cannot edit,
save, edit, send a messge from a mailbox which has a forward set on it.

Mike
