PRB: MAPI_W_PARTIAL_SUCCESS When Creating a Forward Rule (180200)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange Development Kit (EDK) 5.0

This article was previously published under Q180200

SYMPTOMS

Creating rules to forward mail to other users is common. Forwarding rules created using HrStringToAction(), HrStringToRestriction(), and HrInsert() returns a MAPI_W_PARTIAL_SUCCESS on the HrInsert() even though the other two calls HrStringToAction() and HrStringToRestriction() complete successfully.

CAUSE

The restriction for a forwarding rule requires the FL_LOOSE flag. The address list that is part of the action structure is missing the PR_RECIPIENT_TYPE property.

RESOLUTION

Add the following code after the call to create the restriction:
   lpRes->res.resContent.ulFuzzyLevel =   FL_SUBSTRING |
                                          FL_IGNORECASE |
                                          FL_LOOSE;
				
Add the following code after the call to create the action:
   if (lpActs->lpAction->acttype == OP_FORWARD)
   {
      lpActs->lpAction[0].lpadrlist->aEntries->ulReserved1 = 1L;
      lpActs->lpAction[0].lpadrlist->aEntries->cValues += 1;
      lpActs->lpAction[0].lpadrlist->aEntries->
          rgPropVals[0].Value.MVbin.lpbin +=
          sizeof(SPropValue)/sizeof(SBinary);
      memset(&(lpActs->lpAction[0].lpadrlist->aEntries->
          rgPropVals[lpActs->lpAction[0].lpadrlist->
          aEntries->cValues-1]),254,sizeof(SPropValue));
      lpActs->lpAction[0].lpadrlist->aEntries->
          rgPropVals[lpActs->lpAction[0].lpadrlist->
          aEntries->cValues-1].ulPropTag = PR_RECIPIENT_TYPE;
      lpActs->lpAction[0].lpadrlist->aEntries->
          rgPropVals[lpActs->lpAction[0].lpadrlist->
          aEntries->cValues-1].Value.ul = MAPI_TO;
    }
				

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a restriction using HrStringToRestriction().
  2. Create an action using the HrStringToAction().
  3. Insert the rule into the rules table.
