SYMPTOMS
When you configure a Web Subscription notification that is sent to an invalid e-mail address or to an e-mail address that is external to your intranet, the following message occurs:

You have successfully subscribed to event

Where event is the event configured to send the e-mail notification.

There is no warning indicating that the e-mail address is invalid or external to your intranet.



CAUSE
The Document Subscription dialog box does not validate the e-mail address that you type into the Address box in the e-mail options.



RESOLUTION
Method 1

Configure your e-mail service so that no e-mail can be sent outside of your company.

Method 2

The Office Server Extensions (OSE) Web administrator can check for inappropriate or invalid e-mail addresses. To do this, use the following steps:  Start the Microsoft Office Server Extensions Administration Home Page by typing in the following URL:

http:\\your_servername\msoffice\msoadmin

Where your_servername is the name of the OSE server. Click Manage Web Subscriptions. Review the e-mail addresses in the subscription list box. Select any Web Subscriptions with inappropriate e-mail addresses and click Delete.

NOTE: You must be the OSE server's Web administrator in order to do this.



MORE INFORMATION
The notification e-mail contains the following information:
 * The name of the Web server where the document is stored.
 * The name of the document.
 * The event that occurred on the document to send the notification e-mail.
 * What time the event occurred.
 * The user name of the person who created the event.
 * The domain of the above user.
 * The e-mail address of the OSE (Office Server Extended) Web server administrator.

This information may be sent to an incorrect e-mail address or an e-mail address outside your workgroup.
