where the original message was cc'd, after you press 'Send' I'm directed to a 403 Forbidden page.

I'm a reseller with 'reseller' only, access to DA and would like assistance with this problem. There is no support provided by my webhost.

In more detail:
The problem occures when using either UeBiMiau or Squirrelmail and when forwarding an email where the original email (the one being forwarded) contained cc'd addresses.

Method to reproduce:
  1. Open a message containing cc'd addresses
  2. Click 'Forward'
  3. Type a recipient address in the 'To' field.
  4. Press 'Send Email'

For myself and all of our customers, when we do that, we are taken to a 403 - Forbidden page.

I can create a new message and send it, or using Squirrelmail I can forward the message using "Forward as attachment", but I can't do the above.

Does anyone have any ideas what the solution or cause is please?

Kind regards

I can't repeat the error with either Squirrelmail or with Uebimiau. So it's NOT a bug.

Based on my successful experience and that you can send the email as an attachment, my guess is that your host has made a custom change to exim.conf (or perhaps exim.pl), which is causing some kind of direction that neither Squirrelmail nor Uebimiau expects, which is causing the error.

There's a great explanation of 403 errors here, including some ideas as to what to look at for an understanding of what's happening.

However the page is from a provider, and their methods for resolving the problem refer to people with accounts with them. So they're not going to be able to help you solve this problem.

Unfortunately, neither are we, because we can't look into your server.

If your provider lets you see logs then looking at error logs after you get the problem may show something that would help you figure out the problem, but otherwise it's in the hands of your provider.

When you use webhosting from a provider that doesn't offer support obviously you're getting what you expect.
