Length of Admin Email for GO Server

[dave-ingham-tlr]

I am establishing the "Email Notification" section of the Server Configuration for the GO server via the web user interface.

I have found that the Admin Email address appears to be truncated at 65 characters. The address that I need to supply is 80 characters long and is therefore being rejected as the truncated address is not valid.

Is this a hard limit to the length or can it be increased?

Hmm, you're right. Max length seems to be 64, for no apparent reason. The
limit doesn't seem to be a hard limit. I was able to use the config XML to
change it to:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789_abcdefghijkl@gmail.com,
which has more than 64 characters. Can you try that?

Cheers,
Aravind

Thanks. This workaround worked. I was also able to go back into the Server Configuration page and send a test email successfully.
