Re: Python syntax errors

Fixed moment ago.
But, which version of Python are you running?

I started trying to run with Python 3.6.
I then realised I had to use Python 2.7.

But although Python 2.7 accepts the 

except Exception, e:

syntax, it does not recommend it, as seen in the documentation, as this syntax is confusing.

So not only Python 3 changed, but Python 2 does not recommend it.

Re: Python syntax errors

iRedMail uses Python-2 right now, but we're migrating to Python-3. The "mlmmjadmin" is now py3 only, soon will be iRedAPD, then iRedAdmin-Pro.
