MailSweeper 4.3 - Links in notification messages
Posted in I was updating a link that we have in our MailSweeper 4.3 notification messages (i.e the messages that are sent to recipients when an email is blocked), and came across an issue. The new link contained a space, so it had ‘%20′ in it. For example, http://intranet.net/email%20policy. The problem was that Mail Sweeper uses the ‘%’ symbol to identify a ‘token’ as they call it. This was screwing up the message notification and causing it to remove all the text between the ‘%’ in ‘%20′ and then next ‘%’, which happened to be a few lines down. This makes sense because it assumes that any text between two ‘%’ symbols is a token.
I managed to implement a work-around by encapsulating the link with < > brackets instead of using ‘%20′ for the space. So, I inserted the link like this instead:
<http://intranet.net/email policy>
