SYMPTOMS
The MCIS 2.5 HTML Mail Interface (HMI) uses Posting Acceptor to upload e-mail attachments. When an HMI user supplies an invalid file name for the e-mail attachment, Posting Acceptor returns an HTTP error code 500. Depending on the browser configuration, either the server error 500 message or the "friendly HTTP error message" supplied by the browser is displayed in the HMI user interface. This may confuse the HMI user because the error message does not include details for the error that occurred.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Site Server 3.0. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

STATUS
This problem was first corrected in Site Server 3.0 Service Pack 3.



MORE INFORMATION
The Posting Acceptor component (Cpshost.dll) has been updated to return the HTTP result code 200 followed by an error description if the HMI user supplies an invalid file name.

Additional query words: 500 HMI attachment posting acceptor
