Not reproducable.

Have you been able to replicate the error?
Of course not, how should I? This is the most basic feature of the
webmail, it would be pretty bad if it was reproducable for anyone.
This is a local problem of your system.
It would be very bad if this was reproducable - which is why i logged 
the fault.



My webserver has been running Horde for more than 5 years without this 
problem ever cropping up.  We moved over to the new version a couple 
of months back, and this problem has appeared.



It's not a small bug - It cripples user mailboxes until an engineer 
can go through each of their emails to see which one(s) are breaking 
IMP/DIMP.  I'm doing everything at my end that you've requested, 
because this needs to be fixed.



If someone could send an email to themselves and @domain.com to see if 
this is a problem with horde, or just my system, it would be 
appreciated.



Thanks

The Horde log is now running.  But no errors are being logged - Just 
login and logout information.

We don't have a horde.log or a /tmp folder - I assume this is nix only?
No, you just have to make sure that your log location is correctly for 
your system. /tmp obviously is not, if you are using Windows.

Not at all, but it sounds like this could be log entry matching the 
fault. Since this is Windows, I have no idea how further track this 
down, or at least get a useful error message.

We're not getting any PHP errors logged - The log file is working.



The only error I can find relating to this is in our webserver http error log;



"Tue, 08.09.2009 14:29:05 : Cgi-Program did not send 
header-termination (\n\n). Cgi-Program: 
w:\Jana2\html\horde2\dimp\imp.php

Tue, 08.09.2009 14:29:05 : Cgi-Program terminatet with error. 
ErrorCode: -1073741819"



Is that any use?

I'm attempting to find an error log - In the mean time attached is a 
screenshot of dimp attempting to display a folder which contains one 
email with a malformed to address.

What *does* happen if you view such a mailbox?

It also seems to break IMP - So this is an even bigger problem.

We've received several spam messages and a few pebkac errors where the 
"to" or "from" field contains "@domain" (ie no "user@domain").  This 
prevents the entire mailbox from being displayed.



I'm happy for these messages to not be displayed, or even better 
automatically removed, but I think this needs to be fixed quite 
quickly, as it cripples the system.



Many Thanks



Shaun
