Solution
The issue was caused by "CheckFaxTemplateLine" in D_L_a.aspx.
The business no longer sends faxes.
The issue is solved by commenting out the following code:
"CheckFaxTemplateLine" in D_L_a.aspx, D_L_a.aspx.
The function
CheckFaxTemplateValidity() in distribution.vb. This function contains the 21 line limit.

Very Important about publishing the packages for CAWIS Internal and External. Publish the package for CAWIS Internal using the “Acceptance Profile”. Publish the package for CAWIS External using the “Staging Profile”. Using the wrong profile will cause admin functionality to be exposed to unauthorized users. |
