Mail List Members update working in V22 using V20 API broken in V23.5


  • I have updated MDaemon to V23.5, and an API call that used to be working is now failing with an error I do not understand.

    Is there a documentation somewhere explaining the error code?

    I am sending this request :

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
      <MDaemon>
        <API>
          <Request version="20.0.0" echo="0" verbose="0">

            <Parameters>
              <Domain>ixxxxt.info</Domain>
              <ListName>Ixxxxxa_UserList</ListName>
              <Members>
        <Member action="add" id="name@domain.com" displayname="name@domain.com"/>

              </Members>
            </Parameters>
          </Request>
        </API>
      </MDaemon>

     

    the server returns : 

    SimpleXMLElement Object
    (
        [API] => SimpleXMLElement Object
            (

                                    )

                            )

            )

    )

     

    I have tried a couple variations, but they all return the same error message "can't resolve....". What am I missing?

     

    Regards,

     

    PS : I redacted some email addresses and domain names.



  • According to the same request for updating the members, the request no longer needs the <Members> element.

    Does this request work for you?

  • Hi, 

     

    It does not return any error, but it does not update the ML either.

    Here is the returned xml when I remove the <Members> tag around the <Member> tag.

  • I'm currently looking into this... I think that I know the issue, but to clarify...

    <Member action="add" id="name@domain.com" displayname="name@domain.com"/>

    Does the Member id's domain exist as a hosted domain in the system, and if so, does the Member id exist as an account in the system?

    Also, are you using Domain Sharing?


  • Hello,

     

    No this member's domain is an external domain. We have an external address book app, and manage mailing lists from this address book when adresses are updated in the address book.

    This address book also contains email addresses that match our domain users. But for the current use problem, it is an external address.

    Removal of an email address from our email domain "succeeds" with no effect on the mailing list.

     

    Am I using domain sharing? No we don't. We are selfhosting our email domains in an on a single on-prem MDaemon server.

     


  • Ok, thank you.. I believe that I've found the issue, and should have a correction in the next 23.5.1 beta release.


  • Great thank you,

     

    Do you think it would be possible to have the corresponding DLL (or exe) that I could use inplace? I'd rather not run our server on a beta version.

     


  • You could extract the MdMgmtWS.dll from the installer once it is published.


  • I can sure try that. Is it already in the 2351a you released 2 days ago?

    If not, just let me know when it is in the beta, and I'll see if I can extract the dll from the setup.

    Thank you.


  • Hello, 

     

    I saw that MDaemon2351b is available on the Beta channel. Can I use it to check the fix on the API?

     

    Regards,


  • @Stéphane Yes, you can.


  • @Keith Thank you. I tested. It now works, but I had to put back the <Members> tag in the API call, as per V20 documentation.

    The API Dll in V23.5.1Beta now works for me as it did version prior to V23.5 release update.


  • Hello,

     

    I updated to 23.5.1 and the bug is back there. Did the update get lost in the release process?

     

     


  • Stéphane,

    I'll look into it this morning. What was working in the beta should still be working in the release...


  • Stephane,

     

    I just ran some tests adding list members that are not hosted on my Server and it appears that they added correctly.

    In the following request, the new members that are not local accounts are prefixed with xxx

  • Hello,

     

    Thank you for the quick feedback. It does ork indeed. I got misleaded by this error message return by the API:

    Request to update list content failed ↵0x81420082

    which is not very detailed in content. So I though the API was having a problem. The issue was that the contact I randomly picked for the test has a bogus email adress : contanale@company. Maybe the API could list the reason when it fails.

     

    In any case the API work for me on the release version.

     

    Thank you


  • Stephane,

    The Status node that contained that error code should also have "The Email address specified is invalid" in it, along with the offending address.

    I'll run a test using an invalid address and see what my results are.


  • In my test, using 5 invalid email addresses, I got the expected results...

  • You are right indeed.

    All is working perfectly fine, as it should. 

     

    Sorry for my last remark, I should have looked a little deeper in the return xml and saved you some time.

     

    Regards,
