Sorry: The form failed a security check.

this is what i get whenever i submit my form or any of the example forms that vittal set up in the examples.zip file.
Failure message:
Filename C:/............/configfile.con contains a .. or other illegal characters.
Failed security check means you need to have a file called "soupermail.allow" in the same folder as your config file.
Filename "" contians a .. or other illegal characters: means Filename "" contains .. or other illegal characters, which it does. You can't have ../ or ..../ or ......../ or anything like that in your path to the config file.
I have the same problem, and I don't have any ~, slashes or any odd characters in my config.
What I did find out is that using Netscape, the form works perfect, using IE (5.5) I keep getting this same error message. It is so frustrating that I am nearing the point of self mutilation...
Are you getting that the file has charachters in it that shouldn't be there? Do you have a period anywhere it shouldn't be? can you show me to link?
Or are you getting the error that the form failed a security check? Then you just need a soupermail.allow file in your folder with your config files.

I found the problem. The form had an enctype in it's tag, and the method ("POST") was in lower case. DIdn't try which one was the culprit, but fixing both seems to have resolved it all.
PS a search feature in these fora would be a good idea... Found that the solution was posted in 2001... by manually skipping through page after page after bloody page...
I guess I don't understand what the problem was, I've always had problems with soupermail and it's always ended up as being human error. I go back and check my work and all is well. Thanks for figuring out the problem for the others having issues, I obviously wasn't of any help.
How do I regulate the fileupload function
eg I want people to upload a word.doc of a maximum file size of 30kb which generates an http_ref also. if the file size is bigger
then a message alert appears or a URL redirect
any ideas
Cheers
I'm having the same problem, but there are no illegal chars. and i have the soupermail.allow file in the dir.
