MailControl Bug.

[Sergio]

Hi, Sarah.
When a search is made in MailControl some times if the REGEX used has some error, MailControl shows the following message
:
MySQL Error: [Got error 'invalid character range' from regexp] [SELECT COUNT(*) FROM maillog WHERE (subject regexp ? )]

and after that there is nothing you can do to return to work, is like the search is not wiped out and continues in memory even if you close MailControl to start it over and the only way is to close the browser in order to start using MailControl again.

Can you check on this? Thanks.

Here is the REGEX I was searching:
[subject] regexp "(ocado|amazon|Walgreens|target|s club|store|from|cvs)[.- ]offer"

There is no error on the REGEX by the way. Or it could be that the [.- ] (3 characters defined) are checked as from . to \s

When I test your regular expression on regex101.com, there is a pattern error in the regex in the [.- ]. Try defining the characters in your range differently.

I'll report the bug to Jonathan regarding the inability to get back to MailControl if there is an error in your regular expression.

Thank you Sarah, for helping with the bug..

Another 2 more things to check if you don't mind.
- Please,check that MailControl forgets (clear) the search box when we enter into MailControl from the main page. As now when a search is done and MailControl is opened once again the old search starts again.

- When a new search is done, the pagination should return to page. 1 (one).
Example, make a search and go to page 3, then do a new search and you will be in page 3 and if the new search only has 1 page it seems that the search was empty.

Regarding the REGEX pattern, I have a lot of SpamAssassin rules with that regex pattern working without any issues. I tested the pattern declares with REGEXPAL and it detects the characters set; so, I assume that in MailControl the search REGEX box can't use that and I am using the escaped version like this \-?\.?\_? ? and is working for what I want.

Have a nice day.

This is by design and will remain this way.

We will fix this in the next release.

You must escape the non-alphanumerics within the square brackets otherwise they are mistaken by the MySQL regex handler as a range selection (-), so use:

Code: Select all

Ok, got it. Some times the search is extensive and it needs to be stopped and started with a different search, so, I will have to close WHM in order to make the new search.

We will fix this in the next release.

Thank you!!

Great, I will do that next time, appreciated.
