ey there, I uploaded the config-v1.1.xml to http://autoconfig.lipperts-web.de/mail/config-v1.1.xml and added to my Thunderbird an new Mail-Account "oliver@lipperts-web.de". But no auto-configuration.

After Whireshark what happend, I saw an request to http://thunderbird.lipperts-web.de/mail/config-v1.1.xml?emailaddress=oliver%40lipperts-web.de instead of http://autoconfig.lipperts-web.de/mail/config-v1.1.xml?emailaddress=oliver%40lipperts-web.de

How can I fix that? Why does Thunderbird use the "wrong" subdomain?
